Want to test your fitness

I know a few guys on here do a bit of training and I've found a great way of testing your fitness and recording improvments.

It's a timed 5K run and there are lots of them all over the UK so there is bound to be one near you.
It's free and friendly once you are registered you can go and run at any of the Parkruns anywhere.
It's only 5k thats about 3 miles my 7 year old can do it so no excuses.................The first Belfast one is this Saturday and I'm going we did our first one last week in Edinburgh and it was great fun very friendly and it mattered not if you were slow...................even at my pace it only takes about 30 minutes.
When you register you get a bar code to print out and that is how you get you race time..............it's really easy.

Yes, these are a great way to sort out the cobwebs on a Sat morning. There is one in Leeds that I do every now and then. Haven't done one for ages though - seem to find myself at circuits on Sat mornings ...
