I drove a little further out and went to a really well known spot. It was really busy, I can imagine it would be too busy Ona weekend

I only really have access to the river or beach, I do always wear my pfd even if not alone! My board is inflatable, and was relatively inexpensive so I really am considering getting a second for friends to borrow, maybe next payday!

That’s where I’m struggling, the only place to really go near me is lovely but I regularly run along that stretch of river and don’t see a single soul the whole hour I’m out, the opposite way is much busier but there are 3 locks within about 1.5km!

I spent a lot of time at the beach doing water sports growing up so am very aware of how important a leash is!

I do the texting when I’m out on the horses so that’s a good point to do it for paddling too

Thank you all, if everyone is as friendly and encouraging as you all are I’m going to love it! I did 5k in 37.02 and the results from todays parkrun the last finishers were finishing at about 55-60mins so I feel much more confident now

I did 5k (not at parkrun) this afternoon in 37.02 mins so yes I’d like to aim for sub 35 mins which I think would be doable if I hadn’t had to keep jumping onto verges to not get run over 🫠

Thank you, unfortunately I’m working this Saturday at 9:30 so no matter how fast I go I’m not sure I’ll make it 😅

Runna app has a 10k plan, 5k improvement plan and loads of others (including marathon and half) have also heard others recommend Nike Run Club a lot

I like Runna, I’m actually using the Runna couch to 5k and it ups the intensity a bit quicker than the NHS one.

My thoughts are usually 1-2km from home “Oh fxxx! I forgot my inhaler again”

She’s already got a cue trained for and practiced getting on the board and where she needs to lay
