Gawd knows. I can't get my head around how it can be physically possible to run slower than walking pace.
46 minutes for 5km and running? Maybe she was running on the spot for 20 of them!
So where does this park run start from? The reason I ask is I am trying to train for the Coventry half marathon and if I can do this most weeks then it will really help me.

Maybe of interest to a few on here. The story is absolutely ridiculous.
Not to mention battle obesity, in turn makes people healthy, less nhs, less doctors etcisn't it supposed to encourage running and park use rather than deter??
Is parking plentiful and close to the start of the course? I am planning to leave at stupid o'clock from Weymouth and would like to know that if I rock up at 5 to 9 I will be able to get a space and still make the start line.
Cheers
Here is the circuit, it starts at the green marker, comprises 2 laps anti-clockwise & finishes at the red marker.
The main car park is where the big P is! 5 mins is cutting it too fine, I would allow 10.
If you are running a bit late then simply walk up to the start along the course & join in as the stampede passes you.
Thanks Jack. Does the car park fill up?
Just for information. Bedworth parkrun starts tomorrow. Course is a bit shut but it's nice to have an alternative to the cov one.
Starts near the tennis courts. 9am excited to have one within walking distance.Is it round Bedworth Park?
There's now been 3 Bedworth Parkruns and it's going really well. 95 runners this week, so it wasn't difficult to run at your own pace, a problem I found at Cov due to so many people taking part.
Anyone that's got the slightest bit of interest in running/getting fit should give it a go.
@Sky Blue Pete are you and Sam still running?
Starts over the back just past the tennis courts.Where does the Bedworth one start? Might give it a go
How many are you up to then? I managed 25.06 and 25.17 on the two Bedworth Park Runs that I did this weekend. (There's an unofficial one on Sunday too).I've been doing the Rugby Parkrun for a year now. I've also done the Daventry one and the Dolgellau one. They're great for improving your fitness and racing against yourself. Still to go below 26 minutes though.....
Sam now done about 135 I’ve done about 165. Knee currently giving me a problem.How many are you up to then? I managed 25.06 and 25.17 on the two Bedworth Park Runs that I did this weekend. (There's an unofficial one on Sunday too).
Only done 8 parkruns, did the first in 2012. Hoping to get the 50 in by the time Bedworth Celebrate 1 year.
Wowsers that's good going. I bet he beats you comfortably now.Sam now done about 135 I’ve done about 165. Knee currently giving me a problem.
