Always love parkrun videos. Very relatable for us non-near-elite runners.

[@ColeRunning]

Gotta love a parkrun! Back to my roots!!

[@_Tp__]

most of us all started our running journeys at parkrun, such a great place and really helps with consistency when starting out. dont think i would be running now without it.

[@mrmysterious6961]

I’m a year 6 and my running journey started in school cross country and now I’m 30th in England for my age also I do the BOFRA fell races

[@ColeRunning]

@@mrmysterious6961 nice

[@runmyworld]

You’re doing great Cole. Who needs soar when you’ve a pair of well loved shorts ! Keep being you and greetings to your lovely family

[@ColeRunning]

They’re a great pair of shorts, don’t make ‘em like they used to eh!!! 🤣

[@mikehobbs624]

Great running Cole. Loved the scene with your mum trying to stay out of the video ! 🤣🤣

[@ColeRunning]

hahah not entirely sure what she was trying to do there haha

[@RedSpoonRunning]

A valiant effort! And what a beautiful location on a sunny day!

[@ColeRunning]

Whitstable is a dream 🫶🏻

[@pierce9128]

Garmin have a widget for your parkrun reg number. Handy never have to worry about where I left the code.

[@_Tp__]

he has a coros

[@ColeRunning]

haha that's a great feature! Unfortunately I dont have a Garmin! I prefer my coros to by previous Garmin 100% but that is a cool feature!

[@Stevenc1984]

Solid effort! Probably a little faster than what I was expecting you to go, fitness must be in a really good place! Any thoughts on the warm weather ahead of GNR? (still a little early to confirm temps right now I guess)

[@ColeRunning]

On that course I was genuinely chuffed with that on the day haha. Once I’ve tapered, race day atmosphere, fuelled etc… hopefully it’ll click into place!

[@Stevenc1984]

@@ColeRunning C'mon Cole! 🚀🚀🚀🚀

[@ckirby1204]

I've done both coures, you were definitely at a disadvantage doing the two lapper.

[@ColeRunning]

Haha yep the two lapper is a tricky one for sure. Hey ho!

[@tworunningbrooms]

Droning parkrun courses is the way forward. We went to Trentham Gardens yesterday, one you did last year. As you can imagine with that course got some impressive views from above.

[@ColeRunning]

Oh wow yes I can imagine that parkrun looks insane on a drone cam!

[@ukmattj]

Legendary stuff mate! The pinky finger coffee sip was certainly a highlight ☕️

[@ColeRunning]

Hahah thanks mate haha proper british

[@buffaloj0e]

Ben would be proud of the coffee footage lol.

[@ColeRunning]

ooo idk im not fantastic at the whole coffee thing haha

[@johnauld9851]

You can put your parkrun barcode on your watch. There’s a widget for it. Its quite handy.

[@ColeRunning]

Thanks mate! I have upgraded to the superior race… Coros! 😁😉

[@josephgonzalez_]

I’m not going to make excuses…. **Proceeds to make excuses** 😂… Great effort though. Things are looking good 👍

[@ColeRunning]

Hahaha i always do that 😂😂 Thanks a lot mate!!

[@ryandargan5744]

Love it mate, did peak before hand tho 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

[@ColeRunning]

Hahaha no harm done haha

[@matthew_morgan]

You can put the barcode on your watch if I have a Garmin

[@ColeRunning]

Thanks mate! I have upgraded to the superior race… Coros! 😁😉

[@matthew_morgan]

@@ColeRunning hahaha, yes

[@iansellers1251]

Add barcode to your watch (if its a Garmin ) not sure on others

[@ColeRunning]

Got a Coros I’m afraid :(

[@Ultrarunnerdad]

Need a video with more African Grey! Great video, confidence on film growing great. Good video 🤙

[@ColeRunning]

I’m glad someone likes the parrot, it’s bloody annoying to live with haha

[@Ultrarunnerdad]

@@ColeRunning Mine has destroyed some woodwork in the house today!

[@SwimBikeRunFastest]

I did a 22 minute parkrun yesterday and my watch tells me I need to rest for 96 hours! Lol. I think i pushed too hard

[@ColeRunning]

Hahaha take your watch with a pinch of salt, if it recommended you rest for 3 hours and you got injured following its suggestions you’d be annoyed with the watch… so they always side with caution! Listen to your body buddy and keep crushing it, great time btw 👏🏻

[@JamesTombs]

Doesn't mean rest for 96 hours, it means to avoid hard sessions for 96 hours. You can still head out and do easy aerobic runs.

[@SwimBikeRunFastest]

@@JamesTombs ah cool. Okay. I've only had the watch a few days. Still getting used to it

[@metikki2]

How do you see the fastest 500 parkruns? I can only see the single fastest.

[@ColeRunning]

Not sure mate I’m afraid

[@metikki2]

​@@ColeRunningI'm talking about the screen you have pulled up at the 8 minute mark.

[@ColeRunning]

That’s just the fastest 500 Parkrunners at that particular parkrun. You can find it in the results section of each parkruns respective website

[@metikki2]

@@ColeRunning thanks, found it!

[@martincarroll966]

Load your barcode onto your watch, you'll never need to find it again!

[@ColeRunning]

Not sure you can do it on Coros, albeit I haven’t tried yet haha

[@_Tp__]

easy record hunting for cole

[@ColeRunning]

I’m trying 😅
