Polishing parkrun Performance
Say it Plainly Challenge
1. Refrain from staying on Vocal ātil long after midnightā¦
Alarm shrills seconds laterā¦ causing a fright!š³
2. Fuel up on a speedy, snack
Prevent those glucose levels getting out of whack.
3. Quickly, quicklyā¦ donāt be late
Fellow parkrunners will not wait!
4. Crisp, breezes waftā¦ birds chirp aloft.
5. Remember to stretch those calvesā¦
Others sure wonāt do things by halves.
6. Smiles and chatterā¦
7. Visitors made welcome
Dogsā feet patter
Babes gurgling in strollers, join in the bedlam.
8. Hustle to the startā¦
watches & phones are prepped.
10. Record the racing heart and āblisteringā pace kept.
Yesā¦ here we go!
11. Overtake all who are too slow.
Silent breathing begins to labour
Just got passed by my neighbour!
12. Ear pods blast, keep the beat fast.
13. Top of the hill for a photoā¦
āAlways run thenāā¦ thatās my motto.
Jogā¦ walkā¦ plod.
14. The finish shoot loomsā¦
Arms swing, strides stretch, heart rate zooms.
15. Think it was a PB?
Maybeā¦ we shall see.
