As it says, I had a bad back injury just under 3 Years ago, 10 weeks ago re-started C25k with my local Running Club and today again with their support and that of a fellow C25k Graduate ran my first Parkrun for 3 years. Not only did I enjoy it I got a PB, I may be old but I am slow 34:01.

That last sentence should read "I maybe old but NOT slow" congratulations on that sub 35 minute 5K time of 34.01, at your first parkrun in 3 years, that time is not slow. 😊🏃🏾👍

Congratulations on the PB. Sounds like you have a great running club and some good support but you’ve also done the work to get there. Great job 👏

A PB is your fastest time.......... how does that equate to being slow?
Compare yourself to yourself and remember, you are aging.

What a fantastic achievement. I'm looking forward to trying a parkrun after graduation.

Of course time and age are both relative, there are a lot of older/faster younger/slower on here and there always will be, we all run our own pace.
