Did my 3rd Park Run yesterday… loved it!! Love the fact I can jog all the way… I’m not fast- 36 mins… but I get round!! Fantastic support from everyone & I highly recommend it!! I now run or rather jog regularly & swim& go to the gym….C25K had really worked for me. Along with WW I’ve so far lost 2 1/2 stone & feel so much better… I’m 56… so proof you can do it !!

Congratulations on completing your 3rd parkrun in that reasonable time of 36 minutes, well done, I am sure it won't be long before you can get a sub 35 minute 5K 🏃🏾 👍

Oh wow, congratulations! Good to see you post again. I am 56 too but I keep putting on weight! I am still jogging regularly though so C25K has worked.

If it’s any encouragement, my first Parkrun was 34 minutes and now I’m hoping to beat my 21.47 PB at a Parkrun soon. 👍

Hey, that was a great time for your Parkrun! Just look at the full list of results, then look at the age related sort and you might get a nice surprise :)
