Did my first park run yesterday! I’m on w8r3 so thought I should give it a go. Got a bit carried away on the first lap (of 3) running with a friend and went too fast so did have a few walking breaks, but managed a respectable 37minutes - 155th! I didn’t run for more than my allotted 28minites as wanted to stick to the program if I could (and think it would have killed me otherwise!)

It was great fun, lovely people and I will certainly go again - just need to go a bit steadier next time and try to keep running. I encourage everyone to try one!

Well done. They are great. Saturdays are not Saturdays without a Parkrun. Try and do Week 9 Run 3 at Parkrun next week. It will be a lovely way to celebrate and finish the C25K program.
