I've run about 90 5ks in the past 3 years - my time today was 34:00, so you beat me by 30s on your debut!

Good going and keep at it. Have you heard about parkun?

Yes. That and beating the other runners....

Time confirmed at 31:52!! I'm so chuffed!

We've been discussing going to our local park run, but it's along the beach which is usually freezing......

We're in debates over the Loch Ness 10k at the end of September. Based on the struggle today though maybe that's a bit premature!

seriously you can do it, the distances get easier, the first 5k is huge, if you can do 5k that fast, you can slow down and do 10k i promise

Would have been faster if it wasn't for the hills! Managed to power on and get up them though

Next 5K is on 8th June

my marathon guru at my running club always said "hills are our friends" i never got it until i ran 26 on flat ground.... now hills are my friend for sure, but only uphill, my knees hate downhills
