runfree 2011 

parkrun and Lucozade present runfree, the big day out for runners and their families.

June 4th was extra-special - we teamed up with parkrun to bring you runfree.

People ran in fancy dress, baked cakes and made the day incredible. We'd like to thank everyone who took part for creating such a great atmosphere.

TOP TIPS FROM THE LUCOZADE SPORTS SCIENCE TEAM 

Having taken part in countless parkruns ourselves, we've come up with a few simple tips to set you up for a perfect run:

START DRINKING AS SOON AS YOU WAKE UP - water or Lucozade Sport Lite will help make sure you're hydrated.

DON'T DRESS TO IMPRESS - dress to run. This is Britain - so be prepared for rain, hale or wind.

HAVE A LIGHT, CARB-BASED BREAKFAST to make sure you're fuelled ready to run. Can't face breakfast? Try an energy bar or sports drink instead.

GET TO THE START IN PLENTY OF TIME - the less you have to worry about, the more relaxed you'll be for your run.

ONCE YOU'VE CROSSED THE LINE, START REFUELLING AND REHYDRATING. Both are essential to help your recovery.
