Did my 5km at Parkrun this morning. Haven't been able to get to my local Parkrun for a couple of weeks and it felt good to be back. The forest was ablaze with colour, lots of autumn leaves still on the trees, despite the high winds a couple of weeks ago. I don't know my official time yet, don't think it will be a PB but somewhere around the 40 minute mark which is good for me. Annoyingly, mapmyrun has clocked it as just under the 5k - don't think I cut any corners! Feeling good now and ready for Week 2.
Magic Plan - Week 1 ✅ : Did my 5km at Parkrun... - Bridge to 10K
Magic Plan - Week 1 ✅
Just good to get out there running with other people Debston. Times will improve when you are ready....and if they don't so what? 😊
What a beautiful location for your park run! - the gadget gremlins are at it again can nothing be trusted!! Well done 😁
Congratulations on your run today, don't worry about Mapmyrun being a little out, trees can affect the link, wait for the official result.
Good luck for week two
Thanks AlMorr, official PR time was 40:05 so happy with that. Wish it had been 6 seconds faster though to get sub 40! 😂
Yes I was just thinking that as well, 6 seconds less would have been sub 40 minute 5K, nevermind, a good run today, next time will be sub 40.
I have just come back from a little run this afternoon as I wasn't at a parkrun this morning, I reran run 3 of week 6 of C25K with Laura , that is the one she tells me at the end that you are "officially a runner,"
I had music with me as well, the final tune 🎶 I heard just after I finished the run was "Speedy Gonzalas" , not sure if that applied to me as I ran probably at the most 4K in that 25 minute run
Nice one and a lovely place to run by the looks!
I don't necessarily think mapmyrun would have been wrong. My local Parkrun (Abingdon) always comes out at 4.93 km instead of 5. This morning I did Didcot as Abingdon was cancelled due to high water levels on the Thames. Didcot came out as 5.07 km (and I checked other people's Strava records and they all come out between 5.07 and 5.1. So none of the Parkruns are exactly 5km. But it's nothing to worry about - the important thing is doing it!
Looks beautiful and i’m impressed with your speed
Thank you, I am always just happy that I can run the whole thing. I'd have laughed at that idea a year ago. So glad I decided to try C25K! ☺
Well done completing week 1. Enjoy next week
