I'm a bit late posting this but just wanted to shout out that I took part in my very first 5k event in Sunday! I signed up when I was at about week 5, never quite believing I could do it but telling myself to 'trust the programme' π Even after week 9 I would've totally struggled but I've had a good couple of months (yes, months!!!) of consolidating and I'm finally there... I did it in just over 38 mins, which I was pretty chuffed with given the heat that day π It was a nice flat route which made me realise just how flipping hilly my hometown is! Obviously all good training though and this, at my pace, felt like a breeze. Chuffed to bits!
My first event!: I'm a bit late posting this but... - Couch to 5K
My first event!

Well done you! Thatβs a really good time! πππ
Thank you! A man with a wheelie bin strapped to his back overtook me in the first kilometer but that's all part of the fun (I think!!)

OMG ARE YOU FROM BORO?! I did the same! That bridge was brutal though! π thereβs only one Ali brownlee πΎ I was number 219 π
Get yourself to Albert ParkRun. Although Iβm trying flatts Lane this week for a change π± Preston Park 5k trail next wed night too!
Aw brilliant! What time did you do? I live in Whitby actually (so the bridge was merely a molehill for me π) I'll definitely be booking myself onto something else over your way soon though - I like the flat! Just looking through my goodie bag and finding the flyer for the 10k in September ... Hmm π€ could I have ran round again? I'll ponder on that for a while!
He he he I am doing that!
Thereβs a bloke who marshals the Albert ParkRun every week from Whitby. Jim Broadbent I think. Come over! We can do coffee after! Everyone on here knows Iβm desperate for running pals in the area!
I managed 32:50 for Sundays run. ParkRun PB 31:33.
Ooo I too am keen for a running friend π Parkrun is on my radar but both myself and husband work weekend shifts so it makes it difficult. Is there a way I can pm you on here? We might be able to sort something out. Have you seen OrmesbyHall have some trail runs going on? Once a month I think π€
