Parkrun is back in 7 weeks! Who else needs to redo c25k?

Anyone up for a support thread?

Got covid in March 20 which caused 4-6 weeks extreme tiredness and without the structure of parkrun I just stopped running. I need to get back my fitness, can't be the only one - whose in???

Yes me! Im in the same position and even timing with Covid... I could have written your post! Start tomorrow...

I've just downloaded the app and dragged my running gear out from the back of the cupboard. We can do this!

Oh crap, me! Do we have enough time?

I need to join in. I haven't run since April last year, no way I can get round at Parkrun if I don't ease myself back into running gently... I keep putting off starting though because I know I'll be gutted at how much fitness I've lost.

Me too please!

Started it yesterday....here we go

I'll do it

I'm in if that's okay

A bout of pneumonia clobbered me at the end of last year so fitness levels are abysmal.

I’m in. This has inspired me to act. I haven’t run for over a year. I want to be able to at least get round in one piece, even if I can’t run all the way.

Me me me...

Oh I’m in please. I won’t complete it within 7 weeks as I think I’ll need to go back to week 1, but I’d like to be able to give it a shot.
I enjoyed park run a few years ago, did a few (very slow) 10k races, and then got out of the habit.
I got new trainers for Xmas with the intention of starting again, but I got a + covid test result on Christmas Day too, and that wiped me out for about 8 weeks.
I’m ready to start again now. Might even go out this evening.

I genuinely cannot wait for parkrun to come back ... although I have kept up my running in the past year, parkrun was so much more than just running. It was friendship, support, headspace. I just loved everything about it. Ran part of our local course a couple of weeks ago and was nearly in tears thinking about what the past year has done to us all.

So, I don’t need C25K but am very happy to hang around and provide moral support. Ooh, and try jeffing if you haven’t before. Genuinely changed my attitude to running.
