Parkrun

[Oddity]

Well I've not managed the 5k yet but thought it was time to sign up. If it's anything like the c25k app I may manage the first one in about 12 months 😂

That would still be quicker than me Oddity, it took me 13 months from graduating from C25K to running my first parkrun, so there is hope for you. 😊

😂 Good to hear!

[Debston Graduate]

Just do it. You won't regret it, I promise you. ☺

Parkrun is brilliant, you won't regret going. And it's very addictive, so you'll end up going week after week. You can never be last (they have Tail Walkers to make sure that doesn't happen) and it's up to you how you complete the course; walk, run, jog, walk/run, whatever suits you. Give it a go!

Hi Oddity. Nice to see a fellow Bowie fan on here.

Cannot recommend Parkrun highly rnough. It’s the highlight of my week.

[Oddity in reply to Stephen_UK]

Hi Stephen! I'm a bit of a Bowie nut 😀 I'm considering going this Saturday but currently in agony with a dodgy foot!

[Stephen_UK Graduate in reply to Oddity]

Hope it gets better quickly! Take it easy.

I do park run without running... you are allowed to walk it too.

I currently struggle over the finish at about 6km/h and red faced, but at least I did it!

Everyone is so supportive too! Just go and do it...

[Darwin_s_underdog in reply to Darwin_s_underdog]

Ps. I am sometimes last to finish, but I don't mind... at least I beat my old couch-potato self! I do like getting your time at the end, as it gives you a Personal Best to try and break.

If I do it under 50 minutes I am happy.

Thanks Darwin! Hopefully I'll summon up the courage and get it done in September 🙂
