I discovered Parkrun in March this year and decided to give it a go since I was used to taking my dog for walks that were around 5k long and took just over an hour. I was made to feel welcome and not sneered at for walking more than I ran. My first one took 53:30 min.
I started C25K in April, Just finished week 5 (YAY!!!!0 this week after repeating a few of the earlier weeks.
Today was Parkrun No. 11 . I did a warmup walk of 5 min and then intervals of 90s run / 50s walk to the end. Fortunately the rain held off. The wind, however, did not. Indeed it felt like I was running backwards for most of the latter half. No PB this week according to my official time which was 43:41 791/793. Runtastic, the app I use on my android phone, recorded me as covering the 5k in 42:25 (which would have been a PB) and cheered me up.
Week 6 starts on Monday.
