That's great. Thinking about park runs. How many consolidation runs to get where you are now?

This was my third. I just thought I’d give it a bash and see how I got on and managed to do the 5k - just!

That's even more impressive. How many minutes of running did it take?

Nice one !!! I’m running for 30 mins but still haven’t run 5k ... did you just set out to make it to 5? Not quite sure how to tackle speeding up ....

That’s exactly what I did. Just focused I the distance and hoped to cover the 5k.

Congratulations and well done. Hope you're feeling rightfully proud of yourself. Do you remember that first 60 sec. run, W1R1? Those 60 seconds probably seemed really long, and now you've done 5K in 38 mins. Aren't you amazing? Enjoy your ParkRuns, they are fun, happy running πŸ™‚πŸŒ» πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸŽ‰
