So anyway im gonna get straight to the point. its about to start week 5 and ive been invited to parkrun by a family member(9am start this morning), if i decide to pull out now i know i will regret it, and basically the reason i woke super early and couldn't get back to sleep

i know people of all fitness levels do these they walk jog or run. so im sure i will be able to fit it in to my walk run routine and there will be around 200+ people there which im sure will make it more fun.

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oldfloss ??????

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Millsie-J]

Not yet😐.....in Wales currently..but back tomorrow..and I am, fingers crossed, finally back up to speed...(I use the word,speed, very loosely).

So....watch this space 😉

[mixindave Graduate]

so i did it, fairly comfortable with it actually. and really enjoyed the running atmosphere with over 200 people. Stewards also brilliant.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to mixindave]

Brilliant..well done

[LDS1961 in reply to mixindave]

Great time, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[mixindave Graduate]

Oh i posted my parkrun screenshot at the top? unofficial graduate?? 😁

[Dunder2004 Graduate in reply to mixindave]

Well done that is a super performance - maybe those Galaxy 8s are magic shoes, after all. 😎

Remember what we said about doing too much too soon though. The road is littered with newbie runners who made great progress and ended up on the IC due to overuse.

Great stuff but take care.

[mixindave Graduate in reply to Dunder2004]

probably had some ability to begin with to be honest cycling 5 a day 15000 steps a day at work.. i just got a fat upper body XD XD

[Hidden]

That's great ! So glad you enjoyed it. Jealous of your time though.....

[mixindave Graduate in reply to Hidden]

surprised myself lol.

Wow great run & a good time too. I am planning my first parkrun in May - waiting for my daughter to change jobs so she will be free on Saturdays and we will do it together.

[mixindave Graduate in reply to Dhiny]

awesome! yea i ran with my uncle for most of it so that was great.

well..i would still call it a jog compared to the front runners

[Dhiny in reply to mixindave]

I am a bit daunted after looking at Parkrun website because I made the mistake of looking at results which lists sub 20min runners, age grading, etc. & I had a wobbly wondering if I can actually do it - the results listing makes it seem awfully competitive,

[mixindave Graduate in reply to Dhiny]

dont worry about the dedicated runner times. doesnt matter if you come last, walk, jog or run it. i was only bothered about finishing.

[mixindave Graduate]

but yes it was really fun but guess i should get on the week 5 day 3 tomorrow and get some easy miles under my legs. but yea really tempted for next saturday too. i found it addictive and an excuse to not have my usual friday alcohol binge again
