Boy thats a good way to start the weekend. Popped my cherry and did my first parkrun at Finsbury Park. Puffed round the 5K in around 26:34, which isn't bad considering I'm rather unfit at the moment, and the only running I've done in the last 7 months is 3K on the treadmill last Sunday and 5K on Weds. It was rather frosty, but it wasn't too bad

Thanks for the parkrun link: _pinkdaisy_ and I went for our first run in ages this morning in Finsbury Park, as it happens, and while it may be a while before I can do 5km in any reasonable time, this is going to be worth trying sometime...

Parkrun rules - I did my only ever one in Richmond ages ago in 25m50 or something... but luckily they're starting one in Greenwich soon!

Now you've just reminded me I have to go for a run :(

That looks great, I'm quite tempted by a Parkrun. Tbh I've only recently been getting back into any kind of sport so I've not really been pushing too hard, steady progress, but I do typically run 5km 2-3 times a week. Definitely not up to speed yet but I've certainly noticed the improvement.
