Its been 2 days since I did my 1st Parkrun and I know that there is a difference to running outside to on the treadmill but this is just ridiculous!
My thigh muscles are so painful I can hardly walk.
I'm supposed to be starting week 8 today but I really don't think my legs would take it.
I am determined to get back on the plan tomorrow though so any tips for sorting my aching thighs (& butt cheeks) out would be greatly appreciated 
Seriously, the first time I did a parkrun I was the same, listen to your body and take a few extra rest days!
Forgot to say, I would suggest a gentle swim if you can, really really helps (well it helps me!)
running outside can take quite a toll on the muscles which a treadmill ususally protects, so you might need to rest for longer. You will almost certainly need to stretch your piriformis which will sort out your poor butt! teachpe.com/stretching/piri... And, just to live up to my name, swim, swim, swim
i would definatley advocate more rest. My legs (shins / calves) were really sore the first time I did 5k and the park run.
If you're happy taking painkillers, I find if I've overdone it that one or two Ibuprofen before going to bed helps avoid being so stiff in the morning you can hardly move.
Graduation: 2 days before my half-century!
Post-grad week 2 run 2. My first 5k.
My body tricked me. So confused - Consolidation 2
It’s an emotional day for me and my partner !!!!!! 
Day 2 of Week 2…Still smiling!
