First parkrun

Did my first parkrun today at Braunstone Leicester in 47mins 35 seconds. Am really pleased as thought I was slower than that. Will be definitely going again and hopefully can improve on time now I am familiar with the course.

Brilliant, well done- bet you'll improve next week :) What's the course like?

in reply toCazvs

Hi the course consisted of two laps with a downhill start, a tough incline during a wooded area where you start the second lap then at the end a tough incline but I am prepared for it next week.

Ooh, I hate it when they put hills at the end! At least you know where they are now.

Congratulations to all you first timers. The first of many I bet. Just wait for those PBs to stack up as your times fall.

You'll love it!
