I tend not to do Parkrun because it doesn't seem like a good idea doing it the day before my LSR ie.two hard days together. What does anyone else do? |

Yeah, I do that rather a lot  Not saying it is advisable in ideal world, but it's usually OK. A lot of my parkruns are not necessarily flat out though, more of a tempo run. |

Depends how you train really - and how you run the parkrun I run 7 days a week so if I didn't run hard because I was running longer the next day I'd never run hard!

Good question! Been thinking the same recently too, be intersting to know what people think. Personally, I am not 100% sure it is, especially if its an all out effort but on the slower days....maybe its ok. |

I have been aiming for 5k PBs recently, so haven't been doing long runs on the Sunday. From August I will be going back to just enjoying the parkruns and then doing longer stuff on the Sunday. Works OK for me when I approach them in that way.

I do both... but I guess it depends on your training volume and what works for you

My knees just can't handle really pounding out the 5km and then 24 hours later going for a long run. Well they can, but then they ache for days afterwards so it kills my midweek stuff.

It would depend on how hard you run parkrun. I tend to treat them more as tempo type runs and occasionally race them. I sometimes do a long run on the Friday before parkrun. |
