First Parkrun!!

[FawnDoo]

After encouragement from a friend I did my first Parkrun yesterday......really enjoyed it and even managed a PB for 5k! 😃

Finally getting over my phobia of being out running in public where people can see me, and definitely noticing that I manage better times outside than I do on the treadmill, which seems weird to me because I’d have thought a constant steady pace on the treadmill would have been faster. Ah well, I’m not arguing!

Good time for your first parkrun yesterday FawnDoo, sub 30 minute 5k is a dream for me and many others here on C25K, congratulations. 😊 🏃

My average on the treadmill is 29:30 to 32:00, and getting sub 30 minutes on the treadmill really feels like I have to push hard, so I was a bit surprised yesterday 😃

Great run at your park run . What app did you use to give you each km time reading 😊

[FawnDoo Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

It’s an app on my iPhone called Pacer, it lets you check your performance across each km / mile.

Great pace. Well done that is an amazing time for your first Parkrun. I did my 35th yesterday in a time of 26:44 which a new Parkrun and 5K PB for me. I was still behind you. Really well done for your fantastic achievement.
