Well did my 3rd park run yesterday and for PB 38 min 48 sec 😬 very pleased can feel my stamina improving each time I run. Also enjoying the country runs I'm doing through the week where I am now managing 3 miles non stop 36 mins 😬 half marathon here I come

Well done! Great time too. I did my 9th Parkrun yesterday, I still can't believe it everytime I cross the finish line. I'm working up to 10k to do the Abbey Dash in Leeds. There, I've said it, now it's official!

Well done Dawn! It's all coming together now for you. Yes, your stamina does improve and will do so whilever you keep up the good work of getting out for those runs, eating healthily and doing some walking, cycling, swimming, gym etc. All grist to the mill

A half m takes a lot of training, and some of it quite long, so you'll need to think about your stamina, food etc to sustain you through them. The better you feel, the more you'll want to keep doing it

Have fun!

Well done Dawn. A PB is great but actually being able to feel the improvement is something else.
