For anyone who is planning to try this, or anyone who already runs, I can thoroughly recommend the ParkRun as your first organised 5k. (www.parkrun.com)ParkRun is a weekly 5k run organised in parks all over Greater London (and as far afield as Afghanistan!). It’s a very friendly run with entrants of all abilities - and its completely free to register and run!Our local runs are held in Gunnersbury Park, Old Deer Park and Richmond Park, and the list is expanding. They all start at 9am every Saturday morning.I am not affiliated in any way with ParkRun, but do plan on being a regular competitor, having run my first race last Saturday. Join me at the start line tomorrow morning in the Old Deer Park?!
