I am very proud of the fact that I have completed my first Park Run in a time of 27.10. When I embarked on the C25K I was not a total couch potato, but I could not run for more than 5 minutes without being in considerable discomfort. I stuck to the programme rigorously, running every other day until I got the confidence and the muscles to set off on my own without Laura's reassurance in my ear. It's a great feeling and I'm very grateful to all those on this forum who have offered me encouragement. I am not sure whether I will try to go on to do longer distances - let's face it plodding around can be a bit dull - but I will definitely keep up doing 5k runs as I feel so much better and generally stronger. The only down side - I now have five pairs of trousers which are too big for me!
Thankyou
Adam

Super speedy Ad!!!!! Yeah long runs can be Dullsville but you can liven up the proceedings by picking a bit of scenery to run in and take your best tunes with you. Longer runs do improve your stamina and leg strength, plus lung power so don't discount em
Fast 1 k intervals x 3 are good and fast and will get you fitter, make your fabbo parkrun time quicker as well
