Did my first park run today a week after graduation !!! Was so nervous but everyone so friendly. To all you C25K newbies out there who are finding this a challenge if I can get to the point of being able to run 5k so can YOU. !!!! I can’t believe I did 5k in 34mins. Couldn't run for a bus 3 months ago !!! 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

Well done! That's a really good time... it's taken me 12 goes to get down to that. So glad you have discovered the joy of parkrun. :)

Definitely recommend parkrun. I find running with lots of other people much easier than solo running. Also, however slow you are, I guarantee that there will be people who will be even slower

That’s brilliant, well done. I’ve only managed to run 5k once and it took me much longer than that. I quite fancy park run but our local one has a very hilly course and I would really struggle. I did a 5k charity run (I alternated running and walking) which was two laps and got lapped by quite a few people. Our local park run is 5 laps so I expect I would be lapped twice in that 😂.
