First ParkRun!

[Frissels]

This morning I went to a ParkRun route for my third consolidation run. I walked for the first 5 minutes, ran for 30 minutes, then walked for 5 (the same pattern as my last 6 runs). I hadn’t quite reached 5K, so I had to walk an additional 52 seconds. So, I managed 5K in 40.52 minutes. I was really pleased with that. My long term goal is to be able to run the whole distance of course, but isn’t that what consolidation runs are all about!

An added bonus was the scenery. The route takes you past a lake, a river and the sea front.

Onwards and upwards.

Lovely run for today in such beautiful surroundings, that could almost be a (not) parkrun like what many people, including myself will be doing tomorrow.

That's good, we'll done, great scenery, but mind you don't fall in! 😁

You can try for 5k again soon, you will crack it..

(not) Parkruns can be done at any time, during the week as well, doesn't have to be just on Saturday..

[Frissels Graduate in reply to davelinks]

Thank you. I thought it better not to go to the route on a Saturday. I thought there might be more runners around and I’m not quite ready for that yet.

Yes, busier during the weekend especially if weather's fine.

I've been out running my favorite lane on a Sunday and forever dodging people..
