I didn’t think I could do 1 k, let alone 5. Now i’m Hooked on Park Runs.

You could do it Rogie55 if you put your mind to it, it all starts with training courses like C25K, start with a 5k and gradually increase your distance to HM or the full 26 mile marathon. 😊

PS, they have just interviewed a runner who says she started her running career with C25K.

I suppose when you start c25k and 60 seconds seems so difficult them before you know it you're running for 30 minutes. Anything is possible. 😊😊

Well just now, i’m Still on 5 k, but give me a bit more time. I’m looking for an event to tackle.

Go for it! Like you I felt really inspired this morning but unlike you I have actually signed up for next year!!! 😱.

I have only run 7k so far, I must be mad. I have always wanted to do something in memory of my grandmother who died of motor neurone disease so i really hope I can do it.
