Week 9/2 1st Park Run!! 👊🏼

[Ripcurlrana71]

So a few of you know I was running my first park run today as my penultimate C25k run. I did it!!!

5k in 36.55 mins and I ran all of it!! I’m so pleased I managed it. It was hot and there were 2 small hills. Knackered now but soooo proud of myself. Off to collapse in a heap.

Enjoy your runs everyone. 😎

Well done! Did you drop the warm up/down or do them before and after? Great time you did. You runner you!

[Ripcurlrana71 in reply to Jay66UK]

Thanks Jay! I did my warm up/cool down either side of the 5k. Not gonna lie the last 1k was tough!!

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Tough means improving. I’m mightily impressed.

Fanatasic! So glad you enjoyed it

Did my second one this morning for my Week 8 Run 1 - walked the first 5 mins but ran across the finish line today.

Well Done for running all of it - that's my goal for next week x

Thank you!! Didn’t feel speedy towards the end - was dragging my limbs along! 😬

[TailChaser Graduate in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

Well done Ripcurlrana71. I know what you mean, I felt exactly the same at the end of my first one last week. But it’s a real buzz to know that you can do it isn’t it?!

[Ripcurlrana71 in reply to TailChaser]

Really is! It’s the furthest I’ve run so far. Not going to say it was easy but so pleased I did it! X
