At last! First 5k!

After completing Couch 2 5k after a couple of hiccups I never really knew how far I had run and didn't know what to do next. So I've been running the Couch to 5k plus pods and continuing with week 9. I now also run with Map my Run and this morning continued to finally reach 5k! Hurrah! So pleased with myself. So now I might pluck up the courage for a Park Run! Good luck to everyone in their quests and happy running! 😃

Good for you! Parkrun is fun! All kinds of folks pitch up and they all muddle in happily together.

Well done!! It is a great feeling when you first run 5k, you should be proud of yourself :)

Well done. The vast majority appear to love Parkrun so it is at least worth a try.
