A belated Merry Christmas to you Damien and a happy New Year for 2021, there was no virtual parkrun post from you last week, perhaps that was due to the Christmas holidays, however, on Wednesday 23rd December I ran my 41st virtual and 28th (not) parkrun in a time of 37.32, after that slight left leg injury I was almost back to normal.

There are a lot of snow and icy patches about, so for my next virtual parkrun I intend to run it around a disused football pitch this Saturday morning..

Well done Al, Yes I took a break from it last week. I'll stick up a fresh post in the morning. Happy New Year.

Hello Admin Team,

Thanks to Juju’s Magic Plan, I ran my first ever 60mins today (just shy of 8K) so I’d like to claim some shiny new bling please 🀩

I’ll carry on with β€˜times’ for a while but will soon tackle the distance version of the Magic Plan. I’m excited for new running goals and all the possibilities that lie ahead 😝

Happy New Year to the gang πŸ₯³ Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort you put in, day in, day out to create such a fantastic forum. I don’t believe for a minute I would have stuck with C25K without my online crew. And now I’m hooked!

Ran my first 10k on the 2nd Jan! Started the magic plan more than 12 months ago and got to 8k but flu then, and one thing and another since, stopped me following it and I returned to churning out ~5k a few times a week. Saturday just felt right so off I went. 1hr 7mins later 10k in the bag. Can I have a badge please?

damienairAdministrator in reply to Docgrayum

Hello Damienair. I haven’t been here for a while. However roseabi has told me to come here to ask for my 10k or 60 mins graduate badge to be reinstated please. I used to be known as Peggy 59.Hope your well and keeping safe. I have been posting on Strava but thought I would also drop in here just to see how folks are doing. Happy new year by the way and many thanks. I was also known as Myfi and my last run report here was 9 months ago. Thank you

damienairAdministrator in reply to

Well welcome back. This forum is great for keeping me motivated to keep running. Especially now that parkrun has stopped. I need something to keep me going. I'll give you the 10K badge as that is the higher one and you've done 10K.

Damien

in reply to damienair

Happy new year and thank you damienair for the welcome back and thank you for my10k badge. I hope you are staying safe and obviously you are still running well. I have gone to Strava that’s why I haven’t been over here for a few months. So I shall still be popping in.

Anyway many thanks and keep safeπŸ˜€πŸ‘x

HiI ran my first 10k on Friday in 1hr 3mins, such a feeling of achievement! I was challenged by my family to enter a half marathon in March which I said I would do if I got to 10k by Christmas so I missed that goal but still feeling proud. Never thought I would be one for running but actually quite enjoyed it. Now to decide what next....

StargullGraduate10

I feel bad I don't post more, though I do lurk, and I would love to have a graduate badge following my first 10k, completed in rather damp Oxford this morning. I'd lost a lot of motivation following the Couch to 5k, but posters here pointed me to the Magic Plan and that plus the Fartlek suggestions here (runnersworld.com/advanced/a... got me through with only a couple of weeks stalled in the middle by a dodgy hip.

Thanks to everyone for the cheerful posts. Now to work out what to do next...it certainly won't be any longer than 10k!

damienair profile image
damienairAdministrator in reply to Stargull

Congratulations on your first 10K. Great work and look after that hip. Happy running.

ReluctantRubyGraduate10

Could I have my 10k graduate badge please? We were supposed to be travelling around Greece this winter but have ended up locked down in one place, the island of Lefkada. This has meant with little else to do I focused on improving my running after completing C25K last year. There is a lovely lagoon near the main town and I have been working towards running around that. 10 days ago I completed the lagoon loop of 8k in 61 minutes and last Friday I added on a couple of km to make the 10k in 1hour 18. Feeling very pleased with myself!

Well funny enough today was meant to be my 7k run as part of Juju's Magic Plan, but I felt good enough to go for the 60 minutes, and then I felt good enough to go until 8k. So we were on a very similar pace today. Congrats on your run! Such a sense of achievement, isn't it?
