This was week 9 of Couch to 5K - “GRADUATION DAY”, and the goal was 30 minutes non-stop. But the programme’s title is Couch to 5k. So, rather than aim for 30 minutes we took part in parkrun - a full 5km. We headed to Craigtoun Park near St Andrews and amazed everyone by having a large group of new runners completing their first ever 5k event!
The run was followed by our world-famous graduation picnic! All of our new runners completed the course, did it with a huge smile, and earned their shiny "Get Fit Falkland Couch to 5k" medal!
Part of Jog Scotland, Get Fit Falkland is a community initiative by Recreational Running and aims to help ordinary members of the community undertake the extraordinary challenge of going from a 30-second jog to a 5K run in just 9 weeks.
