Well I managed the park run so though why not ? It’s another goal and I have till Oct to be fit and ready ;) Having lost a few friends and work colleges over the years to cancer I saw this as an opportunity to give something back and raise some funds for cancer research.

I know I can run the 5k but want to improve my time. Is it a matter of simply running more and the fitness level will increase ?

Maybe take yourself across to Bridge.. and make some move towards it that way...loads of support and loads of advice...Check the What's next post out too:)

The more you run, the more it evolves, and often the speed and distance simply improve:)
