#Parkrun
Some #baking today: carrot cake cupcakes and brown butter brownies, both for sale at the Run For Gem event happening after Colchester Castle #parkrun this Saturday. We'll be raising money for St Helena Hospice and Brain Tumour Research. Please come along if you can to run, walk, or just cheer people on and eat cake.

I went 200m further compared to the same session last week.
After Colchester Castle #parkrun this Saturday there's the Run For Gem raising money for St Helena Hospice and Brain Tumour Research. Even if you're not running or walking and happen to be around Castle Park, there's also a cake sale which will hopefully include some of my baking, so come along if you can!

Colchester Castle Park was closed today so instead we went to Castle Park #parkrun in Bishop's Stortford. No hills, but also not much of a castle, more a mound. Definitely wintry weather today, but lumbered on round and think I've earned my lazy afternoon. https://strava.app.link/UOykjTG20Eb

Did my dancing marshall bit at #parkrun this morning. Wasn't for entertainment just keeping myself warm.
No #parkrun for me today but I hope all the #runnersofmastadon had a fab time 😁
Good #parkrun this morning, quite a chilly morning, 2°C but bright sunshine. Made it round in 30:40 and decamped off to the local Costa for coffee and breakfast.
Was good fun volunteering for #BushyParkRunDublin #ParkRun this morning. A lovely crisp, dry, but cold morning, with lots of lovely cheerful runners!
Winter came to #Germany last night, but #Freiburg had none of it...
@dietenbachparkrun in the box under good running conditions and even in the sun...
➡️ warm-up: 1 km walk
➡️ #fartlek 45s run + 15s walk (x30)
➡️ cool-down: 2 km walk
Focus is always on form. Mind persuasion was enforced the whole time: short strides, light as feather, even if I've always felt more like an elephant 😁. I'm doing it right most of the time.
What I still have to fix instead is the tendency to jump over puddles or other obstacles always with my right foot first. I should start with my left foot 50% of the time.

Great year for @dietenbachparkrun - none of the least attended #parkrun was in 2023, while all of the best attended runs where this year (No 1 as the exception)
Visit number 22 to Hafan Pwllheli #ParkRun this morning. Milder weather (13°C) than recent weeks, but with a gusty wind. Great on the outward leg but it became a headwind on the return leg, with the addition of needle-like fine icy rain.
For those doing Colchester Castle #Parkrun on 2nd December, here's the info for Run For Gem taking place afterwards: https://www.facebook.com/events/999492811331317/
Wet morning at Colchester Castle #Parkrun today. First time running there since my knee started hurting while doing it in September. Made it round without anything going wrong this time, and was actually my second run of the week!
And the next run there on 2nd December will be followed by the charity Run For Gem raising money for Brain Tumour Research and St Helena Hospice (with cakes on sale too!) https://strava.app.link/Xr8ewgsmPEb

#parkrun #freiburg #running #laufen #mastodonlauftreff
Up for #Parkrun, this annoying cold I’ve had all week has peaked and now on its way out… so running in the rain sounds a great idea!?
as the weekend approaches, I am once again reminded that I've been wanting to go to the local parkrun for over a year now, but somehow I never made it. It's not like I don't wanna run, I am running 3 times a week, but for some reason, attending the parkrun is always.. inconvenient somehow.
But I am determined to attend this weekend.
Finally found time to type up my list of favourite things from last weekend's #mathsjam @BigMathsJam:
- Everything running to time
- Andrew's joke: https://mathstodon.xyz/@robinhouston/111398942654647732
- Scroggs' reaction when we called him over to see @virtuosew's kumihimo braiding setup: https://mathstodon.xyz/@virtuosew/111394341231534968
- The sealed box https://mathstodon.xyz/@stecks/111398245104768526
- @WoollyBenguin's amazing talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwRbr-MjwII
- "A dalek is maths because it has domes", from @TeaKayB's talk about maths in museums
- Me and @andrewt collecting drawing hacks (post on @aperiodical soon), and characterizing one of them as "Draw a closed loop; draw the rest of the fucking owl" (see: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/how-to-draw-an-owl)
- Lovely physical demos from Hugh Hunt (π in collisions, live from the engineering lab at Cambridge) Jørn from http://jaermuseet.no (using a micro:bit to train an audio recognition model, live) and @supersciencegrl (physical models of molecules that shouldn't exist)
- How much people just joined in with things: taking part in table activities, baking stuff, and bringing stuff for the tables at the back
- Playing the world's worst game of darts with James Grime, which we eventually gave up as a draw
- People #volunteering and learning how to do stuff quickly, which made everything so much easier
- People asking me questions, many of which were "have you seen this cool thing?"
- The sheer unbridled joy of the #MathsJamJam
- Doing the local #ParkRun with a bunch of cool people, and it being such a lovely course with nice sculptures and a forest and a lake
- @gavan's great t-shirt that said "Rage Against The Machine Learning"
- Loads of people buying books off me and getting them signed 📚👍🏻🖊️
- Andrew's awesome sketch notes: https://mathstodon.xyz/@andrewt/111397816171053759
Good morning! I am up for #Parkrun and remembering that time I took Apple to court because my watch broke of its own accord and they refused to replace it free of charge. It’s this kind of smugness that gets you off to a good start to the day.
Getting back to #running after #injury.
#workoutoftheday #parkrun #fartlek
➡️ 3km walk (warm-up + cool-down)
➡️ 30s run + 30s walk (x30)
The goal is focusing on form, paying attention to stride length and how my right foot lands.
Running felt good without calf tightness/pain.
Today was session 1️⃣. Next ones at 2x/week as follows:
2️⃣ 1km run + 1km walk (x4)
3️⃣ 40s run + 20s walk (x30)
4️⃣ 2km run + 1km walk (x3)
5️⃣ 45s run + 15s walk (x30)
6️⃣ urban trail 8km [a mix of running and walking]
Up for #Parkrun! It’s actually just stopped raining and looking like this is it for the day! Unlike last week… fingers crossed…
I am heading out to Higginson #parkrun in #Marlow tomorrow. Meeting up with some work colleagues. I'm hoping to get a 12-month PB 🏃💨 #FetchEveryone
Forgot to share yesterday, but visited Great Dunmow #parkrun with a couple of friends for a rather muddy run. Nice little trip, not too much rain until the end, and a nice breakfast at an old pub next to the park afterwards. Knees still recovering so not too quick, but was good to be back out there. https://strava.app.link/meyVGPBz6Db
Home again after my first ever #parkrun at Queens Park in #glasgow. It was an awesome (and surprisingly dry) event, and I really liked the sense of community around it.
Speaking of community, I also joined #veganrunners this week, and met so many likeminded people, firstly during the event, then for #vegan brunch at the Glad Cafe. Meeting so many people with whom I have so much in common is an amazing feeling… same again next week?

@RobeeShepherd Me too. Accuweather says it should stay dry for #parkrun I just need to find the energy to get out of the door!
Up for #Parkrun! Looks like the rain has just stopped, hope it stays stopped!
"A nine-year-old boy has set a new 5K Parkrun world record for his age.
Louis Robinett ran the distance in 17 minutes and 40 seconds at the Poole Parkrun, in Dorset, on Saturday."

#workoutoftheday #parkrun #injury
Again I had to stop at barely 4 km because of the pain on my right calf. Now I'm limping. The same happened 6 months ago, but this time I felt the tightness increase with every km. It wasn't a sudden pain.
I'm not seeing the end of this 😭!
Luckily tomorrow I have an appointment with the podotrist. I hope that I'll walk normally and that I will be able to do the running test.
So activity for today was
1️⃣ 4 km #running
2️⃣ 3,5 km walk
Ist gerade wirklich eine recht gute Lebensphase - und letzte Nacht tatsächlich über fünf Stunden am Stück geschlafen.
Wenn das Knie jetzt noch bis zur Nordsee "heilt", müssen wir auf sehr gut upgraden ;)
Jetzt aber zum Bäcker zwecks #parkrun Picknick - Jubiläum ist vorbei und natürlich dürft auch weiterhin kommen. Um Neun geht es im Dietenbachpark hinter dem Baseballplatz los!

1st day of #mastodon in the bag; follow me for more quality toots such as this...
Bit of an art crime to consider this worthy of #MastoArt but it's gone 3am and I'm up in five hours for Catton #parkrun 's 10th birthday...🎂

We’re both running our 250th #parkrun at Colwick tomorrow. We’ve been together since 1999 & have trained and run 3 marathons side-by-side as well as countless half marathons and other races. We do run separately, but together we have raised around £50k for the MS Trust over the years. I have #MultipleSclerosis and my running is a bit more limited these days, but we’re still running and tomorrow the party will be at the back! We’ve got 350+ volunteering days between us too! #LoveParkrun #running
Last year, on Friday the 14th of October 2022, my beloved @ada asked me if I would go to parkrun with her on that Saturday.
At that time, I was extremely unfit, having spent most of my life in the computer chair.
My resting heartrate was around 100bpm, getting up from rest usually spiked me up to 125, and then back to around 112.
Walking small distances to/from the car had me puffed out. Going anywhere without the car was unthinkable.
I owned 3 vehicles. One small car for my spouse so ze could drive around, one SUV for long distance driving, and a Tesla for my daily driving.
That first parkrun (or parkwalk) just about destroyed me. I managed to do the whole 5k, but by the end I could barely stand. Avg heartrate was 132bpm peak at 145.
Tomorrow will mark the end of the first 12 months. It will be my 43rd parkrun (with 2 volunteers). My resting heart rate is now down to about 78bpm, and walking around is not just normal, but easy and fun. A typical 5k walk will have me at 105bpm avg with 120 peak.
However, these days I will usually walk a few Ks to and from parkrun, then push myself at run/walk intervals. Doing it this way, my avg rate is now about 135bpm and maxing at around 165.
I have sold 2 of my cars, getting around by walking and public transport is not a problem.
I'm looking forward to being able to run 5k completely over the next 6 months. I feel like its almost within my grasp. Then 10k over the next 12.
If anyone has been thinking about taking up exercise, I can thoroughly recommend parkrun. It's fun, everyone is friendly and encouraging. You can go as slow as you need to.
If you have any questions, feel free to message me!

Hello, lovely #ParkRun people. The anti-trans mob are gearing up to start turning up in numbers at #ParkRunUK events and disrupt them. They turned up at Heaton Park yesterday and they've been at the Mole Valley one as well.
Might be worth speaking to your organisers to warn them! Info about why this is happening in the replies.
#workoutoftheday
*️⃣ 40' #juggling
*️⃣ 4 km #parkrun
*️⃣ 3 km walk
The plan today was to do an 8 km run. However after 4 km my calf started to tighten and that's now the sign I use to decide to stop. Continuing in this state jeopardizes my training week and I want to avoid it at all costs.
The good news is that I could hold the mills mess trick with 3 balls for 5 rounds, yay! I've been practicing it for a very long time.
Scottish have been spotted becuz of rugby world cup
Volunteering at Mersea Island #parkrun this morning. Lovely day for a ride on the Vespa down here.
@KathyReid that was my choice after #parkrun this morning!
1️⃣ #fartlek #running : 45s on + 15s off (x30) - 4,4km
2️⃣ single-leg calf raise 3x10/leg
3️⃣ band-assisted push-up 3x8
4️⃣ band-assisted deep squat narrow stance 3x10
5️⃣ bench dip 3x10
6️⃣ 4km walk
My calf was tight this morning and yet I am reckless enough to still go for a run 🙄. I skipped it last week and I don't plan to further do it. I took it easy though.
My soleus was injured because of bad balance and bad balance is due to weak pelvic floor. [1/2]
Another #Parkrun volunteer day for me today, this time barcode scanning at Markshall Estate. Nice day, and got to see a friend pushing her son round in a pram for the 100th time - so he's got his century up while he's still only two! Now doing some baking so I've got some cakes and biscuits to share at the 300th Colchester Juniors event tomorrow morning.
This was my 26th #Parkrun in the last year.
There are two things that have really suprised me about my first year of going to Parkrun
1. I thought it would get easier over time but it has not. Sometimes I run a bit faster, Sometimes I run a bit slower. It is always hard work
2. Running in a park with 200+ other people is a lovely way to start the weekend. Even if the run itself is hard, I always come away feeling better about the world and have not once regretted going
Keep on running!
Today was a little wild in the #running world. Ran the Beaverton 5k this morning. Chip time was 29:28 -- SUB 30! Finally! I knew I could do it on a less hilly course. A good run!
Afterwards I hustled to my car and drove out to my local #parkrun and ran another 5k because I'm nuts. Got there 6 minutes late but they let me go anyway. Official time was 40 something but my watch says it was more like 35ish. All before 10am!
Very hot at #Parkrun today. Was already a mess just after the slow jog there.
#RunnersOfMastodon #DublinRunners #LoveParkrun #FairviewParkrun
#workoutoftheday #parkrun #strength
➡️ #jogging 5,43km
Strength (x3):
1️⃣ band-assisted push-up x8
2️⃣ band-assisted deep squat narrow stance x10
3️⃣ single calf raise x10/leg
4️⃣ banded bicep curl x10
5️⃣ one-leg semicircle with eyes closed x20/leg
6️⃣ banded lats pull-down x10
It was hot so I decided to keep a slow jog for at least 5 km and then do some strength training with my band.
I also felt a weak pelvic floor and I couldn't do banded pull-ups as planned.
Today was my 50th parkrun volunteer anniversary! And as the Run Director it was nice to see the largest group of participants ever for a regular Sonsbeek parkrun event (speciale are always better visited).
And after organising a run, in the afternoon we had the pleasure of a 17km humid run ourselves! It wasn't nice weather, so we bought an ice-cream to cool down 👍
