Tips for running in the heat

  • Stay hydrated the day before your run
  • Carry water with you, or plan your run with water fountains
  • Try to dring something with electrolytes in it
  • Wear light coloured clothing
  • Always wear sunscreen
  • Keep an eye on your heart rate, and don’t expect to maintain your average.

Final numbers are now in for New Year’s Day and the technical term for the attendance is ‘mahoosive’!

109,478 results were recorded by 80,000 participants ably assisted by more than 7,000 volunteers.

Let’s put that another way… more people took part in parkrun on NYD than in the first 6½ years of parkrun.

Did you parkrun on New Year’s Day? Did you “do the double”?
