Park run 2

[Rogie55]

My 1st solo Park Run, yea I did it. The humidity today was awful, however I did it. 2 mins faster! New pb. Lol

2 good runs, this coming week, then Saturday.

For anyone just starting out, I never thought I would ever be able to become a runner, but I am, mixing now with lovely people, plus all the wonderful support on this site.

I am one very euphoric mature lady.🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done you, was it you who did the Finsbury Park one last week? If so, how did this one compare?

[Rogie55 Graduate in reply to Debston]

Yes, it was me, this one I ran 2 mins quicker, position 8 considerably more mature runners. It was just great. What a lovely family park run is.

[Rogie55 Graduate in reply to Rogie55]

It was still hilly at times, I think next week i’ll Try for sub 40 mins. Lol

[Debston Graduate in reply to Rogie55]

Ah, someone was asking about the Finsbury Park one the other day, they were thinking of doing that one or Highbury Fields today as their first Parkrun. I remember you saying FP was pretty hilly!

[Rogie55 Graduate in reply to Debston]

It is, there is a lovely gentle run down, then a very long run up, that saps your strength, you run the course twice. I will do it again, when next babysitting in London. It’s my son and daughter-in-law regular run. They are both like whippets. Lol

Go for it! My pb is 38:28, first time I did it at the start of June was 46:59. I think you naturally get a bit faster as you get to know the course. That first time I had never run a whole 5km before and took it really easy as just wanted to make it to the end without stopping. I would love to be able to run it in 30 minutes but not sure I'll ever be that speedy! 😂

[Rogie55 Graduate]

Let s face it, you probably never thought you’d run. I Never did. So, any running is good.
