Tracey and Gwyn met with me, Derby's Area Activator, for a chatty 5k around Markeaton Park. They brought the sunshine with them and it was great to see so many people enjoying the park, including little ones learning how to ride their bikes.

Great to hear about some of the events the dynamic duo have entered previously and how they first got into running. We found there is definitely truth in the run-walk-run method if you're looking for a PB and a top tip I've learned from the duo is that icecream is great for pre-run calories without feeling too full and uncomfortable on a run. I'm off to see where we could start a run from that might be near an icecream van for us all.....
