Run details
We’re STILL in a heatwave but I wanted to challenge myself.. so I went to a different parkrun location, this time in Uttoxeter, UK, and we did parkrun… So hot but I ended up chatting with another runner in his 60s’s (ish?) and he was giving me wonderful insights and advice on the first lap.
Was good fun – I wore my boyfriend’s golf cap and I still need to buy running shorts.

I also wanted to raise awareness for anxiety and IBS, because this was a different parkrun location for me so I was very nervous.. and did a Tiktok post about it.
@misskatieruns If anxiety and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) are stopping you trying parkrun, you NEED to watch this. I started with anxiety years ago and so the anxious worrying thoughts would affect my tummy and I now suffer with IBS symptoms.. if you know you know… Watch til the end to see what happens.. do you have IBS or anxiety as a new runner and how do you cope? #anxiety #ibs
