Finished week 7 at parkrun today. Felt really hard, wanted to give up halfway but saw some friends and their encouragement got me going.

Well done seeing it to the end. Was this your first time running with others? I only ask as often, when running with a group instead of on your own, it is easy to go off to quick at the start as you get caught in the rush.

Anyway, the main thing is that you managed and you can now rest and move on to week 8. The end is in sight. Good luck...

🍏Well done! I think sometimes we tend to start too fast at Park Run getting swept up with the momentum of the other runners. However you did it!!! Well done & glad your friends were there to encourage you!! When you tackle week 8 start off very slowly especially the first 10mins & you will be fine!
