Wycombe rye parkrun
Well that was my hardest and slowest Wycombe Rye parkrun in a long long time finishing in 31:56 and a bloody good reminder of where I was some time ago. I’ve been celebrating new achievements but today was a set-back as I struggled with a chest ache which started around the 1km marker but I could control by walking and use of the GTN spray, hence the slower time.
I would like to thank Josephine Chaplin for staying with me for the last 2km and the other lady buying me a bottle of Lucozade. Thank you to every one for your concern, I am fine now.
There were probably a few contributing factors which I shall bare in mind on future runs:
• I started at probably a too fast pace keeping up with Warren Bennet, but fell back from 1km once I started feeling discomfort.
• It was very humid making breathing more difficult.
• Overuse of the GTN spray, some really bad dizzy spells at the finish.
• Unlike the last few weeks I didn’t carry water around with me.
