Myself and DD (13) have been doing a parkrun every week for the past few months. I'm really pleased with the progress we've made so far - neither of us have ever done much running before but we've managed the 5k each week and improved on our overall time by 6 minutes up to now.
However, I can't pretend I enjoy it. I love the atmosphere and the great feeling I get after but while we're doing it it is the most torturous 30-odd minutes of my life. After the first 2 laps out of 3 I feel like I could die (ok slight exaggeration!). When will it start to get easier and when will I enjoy it more?? Have I jumped the gun by taking this on when I hadn't run much before, even though I am (or I thought I was) reasonably fit? I usually do Davina/Jillian Michaels DVDs at home
