I was pleased to see Buddy34’s first sub 30 minutes Parkrun today but I’m also feeling just a bit chuffed at my own PB of 49:27! My first sub 50 minutes 5k and a good 2:30 minutes off my previous time. Which just goes to show that even we (really) slow runners can improve! Happy running folks!
Parkrun #6 - phew!: I was pleased to see Buddy... - Couch to 5K
Parkrun #6 - phew!

Congratulations Oldgirlruns, how brilliant is that? This is why we get out of bed on a Saturday morning to do parkrun. 🏃♀️👏👏

Wow! Bet you are chuffed. I've yet to do a Parkrun, due to work commitments and a large dose of fear, so I'd be happy if I just finished, The feeling you get with a PB is priceless, so just enjoy it x

Well done to you Oldgirlruns on achieving a sub 50 minutes 5K at parkrun this morning, there were louder cheering at the parkrun I was at for the runners at sub 50 than the sub 35 minute ones, although I did get a cheer when I finished, it won't be long before you can get a sub 45 minutes 5k, not necessary at a parkrun, but perhaps on a flat course near to where you live, once again well done on your sub 50 minutes 5K time of 49.27, you deserve to be chuffed😊🏃🏾
Thank you AM, yes I am a bit chuffed. And just a bit trepidatious about now aiming for 45 minutes. My goal is 40 minutes and then we’ll see...! Fortunately I have a very flat sea front to run along with lots of points to use as markers, so I’m sure it’s do-able! And well done you on getting a cheer as you finished your Parkrun - it’s a nice way to end on isn’t it!

That’s brilliant OG! That’s a huge amount off your previous PB! 👏👏👏👏😀
It’s the first time Oldgirlruns has done a parkrun in Southsea without a gale . 😃. I am sure that helped.
Thank you Dexy!
Sorry that wasn’t meant to sound Like the reason you got a PB. Just meant that every time you’ve done parkrun here it has been awful conditions so running has been a battle for the hardiest of runners. You did brilliantly.
Don’t worry - I know that’s what you meant! And you’re quite right - today was a joy weather wise compared with the others. Can you arrange it so that the next one is as good?
