1st park run

[Martin_Rose]

Hi all you runners, I'm doing my first park run tomorrow, be nice to see how near 30 minutes I can get for 5k, I'm hoping for around 40ish minutes.

[TJMazz Graduate]

You don't fool me. You're going to do 5k in 30 minutes. I've seen your times, speedy gonzales rose.

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to ejvcruns]

Hahaha, I would love to.

[Cornet-Carolyn Graduate]

Enjoy your park run 🏃

[pinkdotty Graduate]

Me too! A bit nervous but have had a go at running 5k a couple of times since graduating two weeks ago and managed it (just). Usually run along local cycle track about 6.30am so will be a bit different having witnesses to my puffing and panting. Good luck!!

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to pinkdotty]

I haven't ran with anyone yet, quite nervous myself, good luck with yours.

[Madge50 Graduate]

Fantastic! Hope you enjoy it, I love parkrun, don't forget your barcode and report back here afterwards! 👍

I've been looking at park runs too, but kind of with one eye shut! I start W8 on Monday so I'm tentatively planning what to do post C25K. Enjoy!!! Then report back and tell us all about it!

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to Sandyscroll]

Thanks, good luck with your run on Monday.

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

Ooo oooo ooo I’m excited for you!!! You might surprise yourself you know!! When I did my first one I stayed at the back...but I felt intimidated by the gazelles...don’t you feel like that...you just run your own run, everybody is there doing their own thing...so you just do your own thing & enjoy it..it doesn’t matter what position you come or what your time is, it’s the experience you’ll enjoy...have a good time...you certainly won’t be last

[DBlou]

Good luck on your first park run! You can do it !

[swisstony4 Graduate]

Good luck... I am sure you will storm it.. and any time will be a win... all your hard work is about to pay dividends... well done my friend 👍

[Mimirossi Graduate]

Good luck Martin_Rose ! We will be cheering you on as you go!

[runswithdogs Graduate]

Enjoy. I'll be looking forward to the post run report.

[Polly2810 Graduate]

Good luck!! Sure you will smash it!! 👍🏻

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to Polly2810]

Thanks Polly.

[WendyHC Graduate]

Me too. We will cheer each other on! Enjoy.

[WendyHC Graduate in reply to WendyHC]

So how was it? I bumped into a friend who didn't know I was doing C25K so we ran together. Great atmosphere especially over the finish line. Chuffed to overtake some people, in awe of the triathletes whizzing past. Bit of a sore foot now but pleased with 38 minutes non stop.

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to WendyHC]

Well done, great time.

[LittleNell83]

Good luck! I am off on my first park run this morning and feeling nervous. I am on week 9 run 2, so should be able to run most of it.

Exciting times ahead and I am sure you will smash it.

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to LittleNell83]

Good luck and enjoy.

[Hidden]

You'll swoosh by them all I am sure.... good luck and happy running
