First Park Run ever!

[Taylor13]

Had said to myself I would do my local Park Run once I'd graduated...and I that's exactly what I did this morning at 9am along with a few hundred others! Felt strange running with so many people after running on my own for months doing C25K. Found it harder than I thought I would and everyone seemed fitter and faster. But I did it and regardless of the time I get, I'm really glad I did and will definitely be back for another go 😁 p.s. (I have to thank all the volunteers who make park run happen...just amazing how organised it was and it's free!)

Congratulations on completing your first 5k Parkrun, I have not ran a parkrun so I don't know what it's like running with hundreds of others, you also seem to have found it a little strange, but as you run more parkruns I am sure you will enjoy it as much as you like running alone.

Also did my first today too. There were about 1200 participants!!! I went with a friend.

Yaaay! Well done Taylor13! Glad you enjoyed it!! There’s all different ages, shapes sizes and capabilities out there at Parkrun. That’s what makes it so brilliant. You’re right the volunteers are absolutely amazing too! Hopefully lots more ahead to enjoy!! ❤️
