If you are a big Saturday morning fan of the 5k Parkrun at Bushy Park, don't lose heart, try the ParkOne - a solo run to keep yourself trim.

Here are some useful tips from Parkrun Founder Paul Sinton-Hewitt.

Remember:While parkrun is currently on hiatus due to Coronavirus, if you can and are able to, now is a great opportunity to get outside and start getting active, whether that's walking, jogging or running – in preparation for when lockdown is over. Just be sure to follow government guidelines to keep yourself and others safe.

Keep moving:While we're in lockdown my biggest advice would be to just keep moving. Get out for a solo run, a slow walk or even just a quick stroll around your garden whenever you can. Carve out time once a day and don't compare yourself to other people – be proud of every bit of exercise you do. Stay strong, stay healthy, stay safe and be the best you can be.

Great for your health:Exercising is a great way to de-stress and stay healthy in body and mind, while the social element of parkrun makes it a positive way to boost your mental wellbeing.

Form a community and use local spaces:While in lockdown use social media to help build community around your activity. There are many parkrun groups you can find on Facebook to help connect with others or come and join us on Instagram for live Q&As.

Healthy Swaps:Running makes you feels amazing – you're moving your body, enjoying being outside and nourishing your mind with exercise. It's important to keep those healthy vibes going after your parkrun is over, too. Try incorporating some healthy swaps into your diet, such as topping your breakfast porridge with fruit instead of sugar and snacking on vegetables and nuts.
