On Saturday 7 March, Portsmouth joggers C25K 'graduated' at Southsea Park Run, we started our training in January, twice a week and doing our homework without the group over the weekend, and it works! I ran the 5K in just over 42 minutes, it's a start, now I have something to 'beat' I couldn't be happier, the group support was fantastic, and the leaders just amazing. I know I would not have done this alone, I like my settee to much!

That's the best way to graduate. Good luck with running the world.......if you know what I mean.....

Keep running, keep smiling.

Well done, I'd worked out you were in Portsmouth because you come up on the 'people near me list' and saw a few first timers did the Southsea Parkrun yesterday. Nice day for it, hope to see you there one day. It's a brilliant well supported event - just waiting to build up a bit more distance before I try it myself.

Wonderful!! Although an Aussie, I know the Portsmouth/Southsea area VERY well and would love to do a Parkrun there someday. Now that I know it exists I will definitely put it on my "must do" list for the next time we come to the UK

[JohnBlake Graduate in reply to Bazza1234]

If you do, I'll travel from Bristol to run with you, Bazza!

Hello from a fellow Portsmouth person, it's going to be a few weeks before I do my first Parkrun (I'm repeating week 5 as it didn't go so well last week) but I'll hopefully see you there in a few weeks!
