It,s not just about the running, it,s also about the people you meet along the way. This is my 5th Park Run since Graduation and I got to run with Craig who came back to support me into the finish. When an Ultra runner takes the time to support us beginners, and I know Craig works with many C25K runners.

Thanks to Craig,Trisha,Natashia and Michael for making it a great Park Run. And my time 37:09, 1:40 better than last week!

Thank you C25K and all of you on the forum.

That's lovely! I had a singular experience a couple of weeks back with my first park run. A couple of the uber-runners came back and ran with the people in the middle/back of the pack to spur us on. I really felt it made a difference and reinforced the community feel of parkrun.
