So having not quite managed 5k in the 30 mins of the programme I decided as a graduate of one week that I was ready for my first Parkrun in King’s Lynn this morning. I did it - just! 38.53 - there were only 15 people slower but I don’t care! They were serious runners - I really don’t like running on tarmac - I never do normally but I will have to do it to get used to it I know.
Anyway 4 months ago I couldn’t run for 60 seconds so I’m pretty pleased with myself 😁

Well done. I haven't done one yet. I like to run early. Time I had a go though. I just have visions of being constantly overtaken by expensive off road baby buggies or designer cross breed doodlepoo dogs.
Well done Carolyn - at least I know where I’m aiming now 😁. I know the main reason is that I’m so heavy - when I started he programme in August I was 15 stone 8 - I’m now 14 5 but I have to seriously focus on the training and diet elements after 1st Jan. What’s great is that for the first time in a long time I know I can get back down under 12 if I carry on. And then I’ll get faster 😂
