Whoopee! I'm a sub-30 minuter!

This has been a long time coming - graduated from C25k in May, when my 5k at Park Run was 35 minutes. Since then I have been improving my time very gradually, two steps forward one step back kind of thing. Really pushed myself at today's Park Run, I was determined to crack that 30 minute barrier, and I did it with just 10 seconds to spare! A great feeling to have achieved this... now just that 10k to crack!

That doesn’t sound like a shuffle to me! Well Done, that’s an excellent time Mutley.

Well done you, that’s fab!! I went for a cheeky 5k this morning, I haven’t been out for a week due to well, life, but I still can’t break 30 mins. I did a PB so not all bad but at 30:23 I’m still a little way off.

Good luck with B210K - I loved it!!

Thank you BlondeAmbition72 😊 You only have a few seconds to get rid of, you will soon be there! Yes looking forward to cracking 10k, I am nearly there. Signed up for a 10k race on 16th so gotta get a move on!

You’ll be fine. I had only run 8k prior to my first 10k race as I missed a week due to a sore back. The extra 2k came relatively easily in the race - adrenaline and all that, I presume lol! Good luck!!

Well done Mutley! 🎉🎉🎉 Many 10k graduates are still trying to get to a sub-30 mins for their 5k after reaching the 10k milestone, so that’s a huge tick! 😃❤️❤️

Well done you! Brilliant! Doesn't sound like a long time coming to me! 🍾🍾🍾👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤸‍♀️⭐️In this running 'game' it is 'fun' to find all sorts of targets and work at them and then I find it gives such a good feeling when they are met. Congratulations again!
