Park run

So went along to another park run yesterday and the only stat I was interested in was my time. So I waited with baited breath and my txt came through I had gone from 30m 14s at my first park run two weeks ago to yesterday's great time of 28m 42s a new PB and one very happy person. I used to play football as a goalkeeper as I hated running now I have been well and truly bitten by the running bug.

Thanks you running by myself and running with others is two different things I've discovered

This is great! Well done! My park run pb is 43min but on Strava I am improving my pace slowly! Keep it up!

Wow well done. I’m on W8 and not sure I’d be brave enough to try Parkrun when I graduate! Do you do it on your own?

Thank you, it completely different to running on your own. I'm now running 3 times a week twice on my own and once a week with a friend who completed a marathon last year it's provides a little competition and banter
