Week 1 first run

4 Replies

After watching my children take part in the Great Eastern Run on Sunday I decided that I would enter the first ParkRun after my 69th birthday on 23 November. First run completed today with no ill effects

Well done for getting past the first run! That was the hardest for me! Good luck with your training, I think it will help to have an event to work towards!

Great Job, Follow the programme, run nice and slow and take rest days. The programme is great and will take you through manageable (though sometimes challenging) steps.

Oh, and enjoy yourself :)
