I love parkrun I try and do it every Saturday when I’m not working. I’ve been doing it for about a year and 4 months and have completed about 53 parkruns. I’m glad you have found parkrun enjoy x

So you are doing several a week then! That's good going. I still want to do my own training runs where I can experiment more, but doing the Parkrun every week or two will show how I'm doing
The brilliant thing about parkrun is you can make it what you want - you can go flat out and compare to your fastest time, you can go easy and chat with fellow parkrunners or, as I encourage the runners I coach, you can use it as training, for example...
Try running 4k comfortable then blast the last km as fast as you can
Try gradually building speed so each km is faster than the one before
Try running alternate km hard and easy - 1k hard, 1 easy, 1 hard, 1 easy then finish with 1k hard.
Have a play so it can fit into your training.
I like parkrun as most weeks I try and run fast whereas when I go out on my own for training runs I run really slow!
Wow, you don't miss many!
I try not to, only when I have to work x
