Couch to 4k!

I did my 3rd parkrun yesterday and although I am still sticking to running for 30 minutes and walking the rest I was super excited to discover I ran 4k. That's the furthest I have ever run πŸ˜€ feeling a bit sore today but pleased, I think the strength exercises must be helping.

Thanks πŸ™‚ I hope one day to get to 5k but for sure it will take me longer than 30 mins!

Well done on running 4K, it won't be long until you can run the full 5k at parkrun

I am still aiming for this but I am going to work towards it very gradually.

Thank you, and thanks for your previous advice about strength exercises. Gives me something constructive to do inbetween runs and seems to be helping πŸ‘
