Did my first 5k park run on Saturday , turned out a lot easier than I thought, came 67th out of 130 runners with a time of 29.10 ! not bad for an old un !. keep up the good work, you can all do this (and a lot better ) too.   :-)

That's brilliant, Rodderzzz. I've noticed that a few of us struggle to get 5kin 30 mins so well done you!

That's an amazing time! I'm still hitting 5km in 33mins so am trying the stamina and speed podcasts to try and improve. Hoping to do a park run in  May.
