Park Runs

Post by Shona »

I completed my first Park Run on Saturday and it was pretty tough. Its 5k and it showed that running for 30 minutes does not equal 5K for me. But I will keep up with the training, would find it easier if Get Runing done a 5 - 10 k transition app. I dont want to run 10k, but I do want to do some of the interval training for 10k. Downloaded another app, but its not a patch on Get Running. Has anyone else done the Park Runs. They are on all over the country and are free. You just need to register more than 24 hours before your first run. Its so well organised and other runners are so encouraging.

I'm still well away from doing a Parkrun (still only on week 3 of Get Running!) but I've heard lots of good things about them. There's one in my area, but apparently everyone completes it in about half an hour and I'm sure it'd take me a lot longer!
