I graduated mid November covering 3.5k and the 5k distance seemed way out of my reach. Having run 3x per week since today I covered 5k and am thrilled. I am more excited about doing this than graduating.YES 5k. I have been wanting to do a park run but wanted to build up my stamina a bit first. This is the best Christmas present I could have asked for 😀 not fast but steady

Yeah! That first 5k feels just brilliant doesn't it Slowry, until you have done it, it feels like such a long way, but once your stamina is there, you can do that extra bit and its amazing.😊

Now you have a pb for 5k 😉..enjoy youe first Parkrun. xx
