Feeling very pleased to have done this run as part of a Park Run. Felt strange being with so many other runners but I found it helped me to manage my pace better & I kept it very steady. Now I know I can run 5K I’m feeling very pleased with how C25K has taken me from R1W1 to today in 8 weeks!

Congratulations to you RunMitchRun on completing your first 5k Parkrun this morning at Maryborough, well done, yes I am sure it is different running in a big crowd than on your own, you get carried along with them and in most cases can run faster. Onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 8.

Won't be long now until you graduate, perhaps at that same parkrun in two weeks or maybe next Saturday if things go really well for you.

Well done indeed! This programme is quite good isn't it? :)
