RE: Parkrun Cancelled - a slightly frustrating start to my week off (and a more positive injury update)

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Our parkrun was cancelled too. I had volunteered as they were desperate again. The team may have been out checking the course this morning. I think they are usually there by 7:30 to inspect and put out the various cones. Some people will complain about it being cancelled, but I wonder how often they volunteer. It's just a fun run, but people get serious about their 'streak'.

We went shopping instead and saw a few runners around. Need to be careful when it's this frosty.

Good luck with the injury. I ought to do more exercises, but I am considering joining the gym.

I think ours would normally be checked first thing in the morning, but with conditions as they were, the decision to cancel was made earlier to save any unnecessary travel... and yep I expect there were a number of complaints, if people really wanted to run then they can just go out on their own.

I managed to get my saturday run completed eventually, at 4pm before the freezing fog rolled in!

I'm sure most of us could benefit from strength training, my issue is that I enjoy running more, and would always prefer a run outside compared to the Gym. I was a member of one 2 years ago, and could never find the motivation to go.

Don't let me put you off though! It'll be interesting to see how you get on if you do join one :-)

It looks like a few people went to another nearby that never seems to have ice issues. That's partly due to it being on rough ground and slopes.

I used a gym years ago before I started running. I can give it a go for a few month anyway.
