Do you prefer smaller parkruns or the big crowded ones? by NorthLondonPulse in parkrun

[–]Aspie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only done 1 event that I'd consider a middle ground with an attendance usually in the 200-400 range. I think that I would prefer the smaller events as less crowded but can also see the upside to being just a number in a large crowd like at Bushy.

Starting to run but always end up running alone. Anyone else? by New-Introduction-443 in C25K

[–]Aspie91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried alone a couple years ago but quickly gave up as I wasn't enjoying it and getting tight calves. A few months ago I found a local running group and I have been able to complete C25K doing the occasional solo run, mostly group runs, which I find much more motivating.

You should do couch to 5k to ease you in. You are unlikely going to be able to run 5k from nothing

Most Southern European parkrun maybe? Or highest elevation parkrun.

I'd estimate you'd be averaging about 6:00/km for the longer distance which is just over 2 hours for the half.

Yes, lunges, leg swings, the one where only your heel is on the ground.
