⁣We're throwing back to @parkrunuk on this #FlashbackFriday, when @woody_running_muma completed her 50th parkrun! ⠀ ⠀ Look at those smiling faces, it must be all that fresh air and morning sunshine. ☀ ⠀ ⠀ Where will you be running this weekend?

⁣The third edition of 'In the Pen' has landed!⠀ ⠀ This time, it’s the turn of Anna McNuff, adventurer, speaker, bestselling author and self-confessed mischief maker.⠀ ⠀ Anna shares her favourite places to run, some funny running stories (including running Hadrian’s Wall dressed up as a Roman soldier) and also some great running tips for beginners. Big thank you to @annamcnuff for taking the time to answer these questions!⠀ ⠀ Head over to the Lonely Goat website to have a read.

⁣⁣According to recent news, more than 858,000 people downloaded the @officialc25k app between March and the end of June - that's a lot of people to get the running bug! ⠀⠀ For those that have just taken up running, congratulations! 🎉 There's so many things you can choose to do next; here’s a few Lonely Goat tips to get you started:⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⁣• Spend time getting comfortable at 5K, to build a strong foundation before training for your next goal.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⁣• Pick running goals that inspire you, rather than what you think you 'should' be doing.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⁣• Be patient and consistent. Running improvements can take time, but will come if you stick with it.⠀⠀ ⠀ ⁣• Remember, you are not alone! There are millions of runners around the world, and quite a few of them are members of Lonely Goat Running Club. No matter how you’re feeling, there is a welcoming, helpful community of like-minded people out there to support you.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Feel free to share your experience or tips for post-C25K running in the comments below 👇⠀

⁣”I always run faster with friends. They remind you, you can do it. They push you to reach for your best and go further than you think you can." ⠀ ⠀ A great quote from @abz_will_i_ams, who found her motivation on a socially distanced run with fellow Lonely Goats!⠀ ⠀ Have any goats been for a socially distanced run with a buddy since the lockdown restrictions were eased?
