From my first parkrun to a 15:25 5K
I'm Will. My dad took me to a Christmas Day parkrun in 2022, and I was hooked. Six months later I ran under 20 minutes for 5K. Less than four years on, my PBs are 15:25 for 5K, 32 minutes for 10K and 1:13 for the half. I built Stride System to share what got me there: structured training, the right strength work and proper recovery. It's for every runner, from your first parkrun to your fastest race.
