Its a New Year and no doubt many have plans to be more active over the coming year. Three years ago, there was a great thread on here for everyone, regardless of their fitness, to record and share their runs. More importantly, it was a great motivation for everyone with people offering advice, support and help.
Some kept tallies on their annual totals, others just recorded the weather, some trained for a marathon, others were on the couch to 5k. Regardless, it was a great community and helped a lot people, me included to reach their goals.
So, here it is the 2020FVRC.

At least 3 times I felt the curry fighting to come back up!
Total for month 3.5miles.
I used to run 3k every Mon-Fri morning before work and I loved it.

First run of the year will be tonight. Probably going to do 5k but I'll see how I feel after 2 weeks of no exercise and eating/drinking everything in sight.
My feedback thread is here.
I did my first run in over 25 years this week. According to Strava I did 3.07 miles in 28.59 ave 9.25/mi.
Without knowing it I nearly did 5k in a not too shabby time. I wasn’t too knackered either so think I can improve on that next time. I had no expectations and simply recorded a ~ 30 min run.
I’m aiming to run twice a week to supplement my other exercises. Hopefully my knee holds up - I’ve had my gait analysed and bought decent shoes to try and mitigate damage.
Variety is the key for me I don’t want to take running particularly seriously just add it into my portfolio of exercise as it were.
I was part of the last thread too, it motivated me to hit 1,274,000 meters in the year which was great.
I'm waiting for hernia surgery at the moment, so there will be a 6ish week hole in my efforts... If the NHS ever decide to give me an appointment.
I'm aiming to hit a total of 1,000km during 2020. Total so far ... er, zero.

The Parkrun is great, such a mix of abilities, most not athletic by any means. It's very addictive. I've been going for about 3 years and I never miss one. My sister has NEVER been an exercise person, but after coming once she never misses one now (done 34), also my daughters never miss one (both on 17).
