is this a silly idea? it's a 'parkrun' thing - there's one in my hometown and then another starting 90 minutes later in a different town. family are going to both so I am thinking of coming along. plan so far is to really race the first one and then see what happens at the second. bear in mind I race fasted when it's only 5k and starts this early, and probably won't eat between. anyone done something like this before? tips?
Why not just do both at a reasonable pace and enjoy it?
hmmmm........

Enjoy what? By this logic: Why not walk?
Shut it Kipchoge, no one asked you.

yeah i mean, racing can be enjoyable too i think !
Sounds similar to a van relay.
Since you're taking the first race hard, it's just important to stay hydrated and loose on the commute to the next race. Maybe bring a stick roller with you for the ride. May want to take a gel in between unless you have a fickle stomach. Get in some strides and stretching before the start of the second race and you should be completely fine.
do you think i have a chance at doing well in the second as well as the first?
I always do the New Years park run double.
I tend to run faster in the first, but not completely flat out, easy run or cycle to the 2nd and then run just find what I can tick over fast at.
Unless you think you will get a PB, then I don't think it matters too much. NYD parkruns are always a bit more fun than serious.
