Finally ran 5K!

I completed the couch to 5k app a couple of months ago but found i was only running 4K in 32 minutes. I needed some help to run 5k so I entered a parkrun yesterday and actually ran 5k even though it took 40 minutes. Feels quite a sense of achievement at last! What a great atmosphere at the parkrun, everyone was very encouraging. thanks

Well done for making the step to parkrun. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it and that you ran 5k for the first time. I hope this will be the first of many for you, and now you have a time recorded, you have a target to beat. Or, you can just enjoy running with others on a Saturday morning. 🏃🏃👏👏
