Top work on running 5k, lady! Definitely give parkruns a go, they're nice and low key, people are generally friendly and often there are people running with dogs!!
I have two pieces of advice: firstly, try to do 3 different runs each week - a short fast one, a medium one and a long slow one. It's less boring that way too! Up to you what those distances and speeds are. Secondly, learn where all the public toilets or friendly pubs are. Just sayin'.

Oosh! Lengthy post is lengthy but some interesting food for thought there.
I was doing 3x 30 mins a week but have dropped back to a 1 or 2 a week after being on hols so I reckon I'll start with getting back into the habit of three runs a week for a couple of weeks. Deffo need to get to grips with pacing myself. I get frustrated if I feel I'm running slowly but then push myself too early and I've found with all exercise (cycling, swimming, whateves) that it seems to take me longer than most people to warm up but once I am warmed up/in that sweet spot I can go longer than other people of similar fitness levels...
I've taken against park runs because I've got a dislike of mass sports activities but I really should give it a go before I dismiss it outright.
Also ver good approach to running to work with the walk 1st and last miles. Thanks!
