First Parkrun

Finally done it. Graduated from C25K last August. I have continued running since then doing up 5k.. I have completed several 5k since and also registered for the Selby Parkrun but never actually got round to taking part. Anyway today I finally did my first parkrun. Completed the course in 41.02 which actually was a PB in all runs.

Congratulations on the PB... and well done getting to parkrun, that’s a good time first time out too! Hope you got lots of encouragement and will be back soon.

Happy running.

Well done TonyG27 ...I do parkrun occasionally, it’s right outside my front door so sometimes I can’t resist when I see everyone gathering...it’s not my favourite coz I’m a lonely goat when it comes to running but the atmosphere is good and I like to confirm to myself that I’m a runner when I’m with other runners! Well done on the PB!

That's brilliant TonyG. Do you think you will go on and do more parkruns? I am same as you, have registered for my local one, but not yet taken part.
