Well done you! How long did it take you to get there? It's something I want to achieve as well, but I've still got a few minutes to shave off!

I was going to ask the same question as jayseeskinny. My best time so far is 33mins 44 secs.

I graduated in September, when I eventually got to 5k it took me 45 mins. Got injured in December, took me til the start of Feb to start running again and have improved gradually since then. Slow on own and club runs but for some reason at Parkrun I seem to find a bit of grit and determination, and speed!

So my advice - try Parkrun :)

Well done! I've knocked minutes off at Parkrun in the past also, maybe it happens because it's an event, and it's timed, so you go for it if you feel up for it.

Well I've never managed that so hats off to you !!
