Turn up alone to the free Saturday 5k and finish it
“Standing at the start among people who all seem to know each other and the route, you feel like the one who does not belong there. Nobody is actually watching you, and crossing the line with a time to your name is a different feeling from any run you have done on your own.”
The Recipe
- Look up the nearest free weekly timed 5k, register once online for the barcode it needs, and go to the next one.
- Get there for the briefing, start at the back, and run, jog or walk the whole course at whatever pace you have.
- Cross the finish, hand over your barcode for a time, and stay for the few minutes people stand around afterwards.
