First Park Run

My first Park Run at West Park in Wolverhampton in the picture to the left. Park Run organise free 5km runs weekly, which are popular around the world. There is normally around 300 people that take part just at this Park Run. Even though I only did a lap of the course (about 1 1/2km) it was a good achievement, as I've always been a short distances runner.

Factors that could have affected my running are:

-Very hot weather conditions

-High pollen count

-Not practical leggings

-Running Technique;

I do believe my Running Technique is a problem that I need to work on, as I need to do longer strides and to pace myself more.

I will continue to improve and try to complete a whole 5km before I come back to uni
