First outdoors run

[Kipperrun]

Having completed Couch to 5K indoors on a treadmill during lockdown a month ago, I decided to venture outdoors this morning. It was wonderful! I ran for just under 30 minutes and did 4.12k. This is my best run as well as my first outdoor one. Amazing progress for a 67 year old - that’s me, by the way.

Well done on your time and your first venture outdoors, I suspect it won’t be your last. Outdoors is great especially if you’re lucky like me, I live near Epping Forest and am having fun exploring all the trails. Not sure what will happen come winter though.

Thanks for this, Kat332zz. No definitely won’t be my last one! Sadly, I don’t live near anything like the Epping Forest, but I’ve been finding some good routes near at hand. I’m sure winter will be fine - but don’t quote me?

Brilliant well done Kipperrun. When parkrun returns give it a try - you'll love it

Thanks, steviej99. Ironically before lockdown I had been a volunteer at Parkrun for two years. Just never got round to running! All change now!
