So yesterday I was debating whether to do Park run or not . With all the advice and support I had yesterday, I went to my local park run and only DID IT πŸ˜ƒ. Happy with the result and to be honest I push myself when I shouldn't have!

Wow that's brilliant. Couldn't make it to park run today but will be doing for the first time next week.

Wow - that's amazing! I just did my second park run, my first without stopping to walk, and was really pleased to be sub 35.

A huge well done for going for it and joining park run . That time is amazing and you should be chuffed to bits.

Well done you! (And well done to all of the people who took time to encourage and spur on Dal45) πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ˜Š

Wow that's brilliant well done! So did you run the whole thing rather than doing the program for week 7? I'm on week 7 and thinking of doing it next Saturday but I think I will walk the first 5 mins as my warm up. I have have ankle and knee problems in the past so want to follow the program fully as when I've not in the past it's exacerbated the problem, so every run im worried about my joints!
