I’ve set my alarm and am going to bite the bullet and do parkrun tomorrow. I’ll stick to the plan w4r3 and enjoy an extra long cool down walk after. I’m actually a bit nervous which is daft, I’ve only ever heard good things about it. I’m hoping it’ll get me back running more regularly 😊 as I’ve become a bit of a slouch lately

You’ll love it. Stick to the C25K plan and enjoy. It’s great and you’ll be at the parkrun 15 year Birthday party.

It’s always a great atmosphere but tomorrow will be a little bit more special. I love parkrun, it’s the reason why I’m still running and chasing PB’s.

Awesome! Did you do a bit extra?

BTW... One year ago I did the same thing! Skipped W4R3 and did parkrun instead. Today was my parkrunniversary! 😁
