Well after a bad 4 weeks leading up to Christmas (Hip pain followed by chest infection severely hampered my training) I have just completed my first 5km parkrun with a self recorded time of 29:50. Very happy with that and glad a I did the parkrun, a great atmosphere and the peer pressure helps to keep me going when I may have eased back had I been running solo.
Parkrun first time: Well after a bad 4 weeks... - Couch to 5K

Gordon Bennet Sinbad, that's incredible. Well done indeed. 29'50 is a titanic time to be proud of. I have yet to try a ParkRun as I enjoy the solitude on my outings, but perhaps one day....
WELL DONE once again!
