Wow - I have done it. Wouldn’t have believed it a few weeks ago- struggling to run 10 mins.

The park run was great fun. Everyone so friendly. Not a fast time (43mins) but when you are running you just feel a part of the running community and the support you receive is great. Time is not the main goal.

Thank you Couch25k!! This would not have been possible without the continued support.

It’s an amazing programme x

Congratulations on your first Park Run! And that's a great time - I did my 15th today and came in at 43:58, it's taken a lot of hard work to get to that speed and you beat it on your very first outing! You're going to be a park running superstar!
