yes park run my next goal I'm.still over weight and feel self conscious I either run at dawn or dusk so not to be seen and the demon in my head still tells me and not really a runner at the speed I go! but I would love to do the park runs I bet it's a real sense of achievment

I did a park run and what a shock I got far too competitive where I live it’s like a race can’t see me doing it again but I can now run 5k but not in 30 minutes

Well done. It took me a while to get to 5k after doing C25k but did it. Done about 5 5k now. Time slowly getting better. Just over 40 minutes now.. Can't seem to get past 5k. Still not bad for 66 years old. Two challenges for next year is the York 10 k and the Great North Run
