Hopefully i wont make a habit of it, but this running bug is strong. C25k is definately a cult.

I’m more like an experimental junkie. But I’ve got hooked on Parkrun.

Instead of chasing a high, I’m chasing a PB and end up strung out on a PB high for a week afterwards.

This evening I did a 5K run and beat 4 out of 5 segments on my 5K loop according to Strava. It would have been a new Parkrun PB too, but as it was not a Parkrun it doesn’t count. It was just a training run.

My names is Damien, I’m addicted. Help!
