Your local parkrun course sounds very similar to the Walsall Arboretum course. I don’t notice the tiny hill (OK so it’s more like a slope) towards the end of the first and second laps. On the third and final lap I always give in and end up walking for a couple of seconds.

Good luck with the sub 30 minute 5k in August. We are both going to get a 2x.xx time 🙂

Yep! Minds are definitely tricky buggers, as are running injuries!

Well done on conquering those demons – I have similar ones about the “hill” in our local parkrun. Which is really just a slope, but when it comes to the third time round, I get grumpy, mind plays tricks and I walk.

Good luck for sub 30k 5k in August – I’m gonna virtually do it with you – that’s my goal too!
