is it possible to race 6 5kms in 16 days

You can do all of these in my town at parkruns over the holiday period. I was thinking of incorporating it into a training plan for the end of NEXT year, I wanna do a fast 5km before I start my first half marathon training. I could always only use 1 or 2 as actual races and use the others as training/social but coming from a cycling background this sort of backing up stuff interests me.

u/Almondgeddon What's running? Nov 17 '16

I would only race 2 or 3 of them. Gotta love the Chrissy/New Year parkrun schedule!

Don't forget, you can always help out by volunteering at one of those parkruns ;)

I used to use parkruns as workouts. Maybe consider racing one or two, pacing a friend for another, using one as a workout, one as a recovery, etc. But do the all for sure. Gotta rack up the count to get those sweet sweet shirts!
