This was my 14th park run, a really cold and muddy one! I noticed the numbers of runners had greatly diminished over the last few months.
I took up my position near the back and set off at a steady pace. I thought I’d run for about 30 mins and then finish with a fast walk. I got chatting to a couple who had a similar pace to me and they encouraged me ‘don’t walk, just slow down to baby steps running and keep going’. So I did! I kept running at the slower pace and even then managed a push to a faster pace at the end.
So, I did my first park run running all the way. I am really happy with that, and a time of 38.09 minutes.
