Good luck I know you will give it 100%. Just finished my 5 km. A bit disappointed as I missed my target for the bit where I do my 6 mwt wanted to do 850m but managed 846.11m. I lost my breathing routine at the end and stopped as I did not feel safe to carry on jogging.

Right now you listen here to me duck don't ever feel disappointed in yourself for anything ...you have done amazingly well and when I come to Leicester at my sister's I will find you and kick your rear for saying that.

What do you use to measure your distance? I have two different apps on my iPhone and a fitbit and all three show a different distance.

I used a distance wheel to mark out various distances in the past. I then found a 6 minute walk test app on play store. I compared it to the known distances and found it accurate to within + or - 10 m over 3 Kms.
