First Parkrun

[HeavyFoot]

I’ve just finished my very first Parkrun. It was at Lanhydrock in Cornwall. Too exhausted to type any more.

Well done: be warned, it’s addictive!

Well done and enjoy recovering!

You did it. That's brilliant. Make sure you stretch sir

Also did my first park run today after finishing c25k on Sunday. Well done.

I found running in a group really weird.

[HeavyFoot Graduate in reply to Rhedeg]

Ditto for weird. I found some lovely reasonable encouraging people at the back while the gazelles disappeared after the first hundred metres.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Rhedeg]

Not sure about weird, however, they do say running in or with a group as in a parkrun would make you run a little faster than running on your own.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations on completing your first parkrun, once you have recovered type us here at C25K a report on how your run and time was.

[HeavyFoot Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Time 48'25". Nothing to boast about but I finished!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to HeavyFoot]

Thats OK, I have been unable to run a Saturday morning park run as there are none near me and I have not got a car, however, the first 5K I ran on my own after I graduated which I was determined to run in less than 35 minutes was 34.21, so I am sure you will be able to run a 5K in less than 35 minutes very soon, whether it's on your own or at a parkrun. 😊 🏃 Good luck with that. 😊
