Parkrun is brilliant, and addictive. We had visitors this weekend so I couldnโ€™t do it - frustrating! 36 minutes is a pretty respectable time for a C25Ker, nice going!

Wow, well done you. I wouldnโ€™t expect to come 1st in any category especially in the first Parkrun so what a confidence boost.

Did you do it on your own? Iโ€™m not far off graduating but not sure Iโ€™m brave enough to try a Parkrun......not yet!!

Good morning I did the park run with my neighbour he was doing his 50th park run but he hadn't been for 3 months he needed a push to go and I felt ready to give it a go . I really enjoyed the experience . When your ready give it a go ๐Ÿ˜Š

Brill! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ You should join the Parkrun NHS Couch To 5k club. Itโ€™s nice to have a club to belong to ๐Ÿ˜
