First parkrun

Although I am only on week 3 I thought I would do my first Park run yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I alternated between running and walking and completed the course in 37.2. I never thought a few weeks ago that I would be enjoying running so much. It has certainly given me the confidence to carry on.

Glad that you enjoyed your run today at parkrun, you did the sensible thing by walking some of the course, still a good time. 😊 Enjoy other park runs and onwards and upwards to week 😊3

Well done.

Our recommendation for those mid programme who want to take part in parkrun is that you stick to the programmed C25K runs and walk the remainder, just to avoid overdoing it.
