Clairey-Lou39 Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've just finished week 6 and am fairly comfortable running for 20+ minutes (as long as I don't go too fast!). I've found a local 5K Parkrun that I could try on Saturday if I'm feeling brave. I won't normally be able to make it as I wouldn't have childcare but this weekend I have some so could give it a go. Do you think I should have a go or should I wait until I finish the C25K program? I'd be interested to see what kind of time I'm running it in. On the other hand, it could be a complete disaster!

Janviv Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Go for it, you will find plenty of support from other runners & Parkrun officials. You run to your own pace & comfort, you will find many people will walk more than run. Enjoy the experience, next time you get the chance you will have a good idea of how it works & how you coped. If you have registered already DFYBC. Let us know how you got on, have fun & enjoy your post run coffee. Clairey-Lou39 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey-Lou39 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Did W7D2 today and did 5K if I include the warm up and cool down. Definitely going to try the Parkrun at the weekend now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motivationplusdedication47 Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Clairey-Lou39...I was curious about how much distance you cover during your run? I just finished the program and signed up for my first 5k. I'm still slow and I'm a little apprehensive about how long it will take to finish.

Clairey-Lou39 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 Probably about 2.6 miles within the actual running bit today but I was going faster than I have before and am suffering the consequences now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey-Lou39 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Did it! 5K on a fairly hilly course in 34 minutes and 42 seconds. Rather pleased and proud of myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TanyaH Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Nice! Were you super sore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clairey-Lou39 Posted September 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Not too bad. I walked about 2km back to my car afterwards and I think that helped. Next time I want to run all the way and not be tempted to walk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
