Can't believe I have just registered for a park 5k run on Sunday morning. I'll just be on the start of week 9 by Sunday. I'm really looking forward to it.

Oh my goodness me. I'm not the fastest by a long shot but I hopefully won't be last. 🏃🏃🏃

You will be fine Deborah, just remember to do your warm up walk and not go off too quickly. Just do your 30 mins of running and then do your cool down walk all the way to the end of the course. Don't worry about being last, there are tailwalkers at the back and others who will be walking too...its quite normal for new runners to run/walk a Parkrun. Do print your barcode off and take it with you.

Good luck and enjoy it😊x

Good for you Deborah.

As long as you complete it, it doesn't matter how long it takes or where you finish.
