Week 1 Run 1 done!

[Waddler66]

I’ve been meaning to do the C25K programme for years, so I’m feeling very proud of myself for doing the first run 😇. I hope that by the time the Parkruns are able to start up again, I’ll be able to run the whole 5K!

Congratulations on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1 and welcome to the forum, no doubt by the time you have graduated from C25K the parkruns won't have resumed, hopefully you will have ran a 5K before they do. I think August or September will be the earliest we can hope for Parkruns to restart, in the meantime I wish you all the best for your running journey with C25K. 😊 🏃🏾

Oh no! I was hoping that because they’re outside they might start again dinner than that! I don’t wish to be rude but I do hope you’re wrong

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Workingathome]

I hope that I am wrong as well, but the way things are going it could well be August or September, there are now big events as late as August that have been cancelled, for example Wimbledon has been cancelled in July and the Edinburgh Festival and Tattoo also cancelled, they were due to take place in August, I sincerely hope that parkruns can resume as soon as possible, but no one really knows.

😣 you’re probably right 😔 but hey ho, who knows, by then I might even be able to trot round my first one ever in a decent time 🤞

[Waddler66 in reply to Workingathome]

Same here - the longer we have, the more likely I am to be able to run the whole distance! 🏃‍♀️

So pleased that you sound so motivated. Well done. Hope you enjoy the programme. Happy running 🏃‍♀️👍

Good for you. 👍

I've been running since last September and always promised myself I would do a parkrun, but never got round to it. Now I'm going to be on the starting line for the first one after lockdown!
