5K-Smashed it!

Just done my first parking on Saturday and only went and did it in 25.50! I'm a 44 year old truck driver who only completed the c25k programme last week. I'm 5' 11" and weigh 12 stone, but when I started the programme I was getting shin splints for the first 2 or 3 weeks and wondering if I could manage to complete the whole 9 weeks. I used to do a bit of cycling about 15 years ago, but haven't done any regular exercise at all. I lost quarter a stone and 2 and a half inches off my waist since February. 😁 Well chuffed!

Well done. That is a very good time for a newbie runner - I am sure I’ll be 20 minutes behind you, when I do my first Parkrun!
