Congratulations on your first parkrun . Did you enjoy it , will you do more?

😊👏👏

[Northpenninesjogger Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Quite enjoyed it but came in last so next goal is to improve my time. May do another in a month after doing some speedier km intervals

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Northpenninesjogger]

No, you didn't come in last, the tailwalker at a parkrun comes in last, perhaps you had a nice little conversation with the tailwalker, I am so pleased for you today that you enjoyed your first parkrun, well done 😀 🏃🏾.

Doesn't matter where you came . This time last year did you think you'd be out and running at a park run 👏👏

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Congratulations on your first parkrun, whatever your time. ⚠️ Your Saturdays may never be the same

[Hannah337 Graduate]

You didn't come last!! You beat everyone on the couch who didn't show up!

Well done on your first PR, isn’t it fun! Don’t worry about your time though- my first was 52 minutes and after 9 PRs it’s still 50 minutes on average. Like you my goal for next year is to bring it down - aiming for 45 minutes and then maybe 40, we’ll see! It’s a very different New Year’s Resolution for me that’s for sure! Good luck with your progress!

[Northpenninesjogger Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Yes planning to do some shorter faster runs, maybe 1 or 2 k and try and do them in 10 mins and build up from there.

Dead chuffed at finishing the park run, running all the way which is down to C25k. Youre right, that is more important than speed

Congrats and well done on doing your first parkrun. Don’t worry about waiting a month and doing some extra training before going back. I run twice during the week and always do parkrun on Saturday morning. I even got an extra one in on Christmas Day. It’s a great way of monitoring your progress and you will naturally improve and get faster. Over time I managed to knock 15 minutes off my finish time. It’s also a great way to meet new friends and become part of an amazing community.

Well done. I've registered. Not done one yet though 😂 Did you go straight into the running or did you do a 5 minute walk at the beginning? X

[Northpenninesjogger Graduate in reply to Thisoneistrying]

Walked for 5 mins up to the start
