Sub 30 ParkRun at last! Official time 29:25 so smashed 45 seconds of my PB from 2 weeks ago!
C25K is the best thing I’ve ever done! Wahooo! Been chasing that sub 30 since graduation in April and been chipping away bit by bit. Hit a plateau about 2 months ago at 31:33 then joined a club. Club has helped me get 3 PBS of 40 seconds or more each in a month. Can’t believe it!
Need a new target now 🤔😂
Whoop whoop Tasha99 absolutely brilliant!!! I’m so pleased for you...& so envious!!! I cannot get any time off mine!!! It’s interesting that joining a club has helped 🙃
It’s the best club EVER! I joined one before but wasn’t fussed but this one is fantastic. Running out and about all over. Hill work has done it and pushing my pace with faster people too. There’s a massive range abilities and everyone is included and no pressure. If you can find a good one, it’d definitely help. I was getting bored alone too 😳
There’s one in my town & they run on Tues evenings....the guy who runs it is a friend so when he set it up he made me the first member, but I’ve never been out with them, I like running alone but maybe once a week running with others might not be so bad? Might give it a go , thank you 🙏🏻
Congratulations Tash99 on achieving your goal of a sub 30 minute 5k and a PB as well, 😊🏃🏃yes they say that running with others gives you motivation to run faster. 🏃🏃👍Your next target could be a 10k in the future.
I can do those but may aim for a sub one hour 🤔 Thank you 👌🏽 First HM next May too 😳
Tomorrow there is the Great North HM Run🏃🏃😊, it is being televised, that should make you in the mood for your first HM next May🏃🏃🏃🏃😊which I wish you well
Yes I’m from the north east. Loads from my club are doing it. Maybe me next year 😂 Thank you!
I wish all your friends who are running 🏃 in tomorrow's HM Great North Run all the very best, I'll be cheering them on from my 'couch' (o dear I shouldn't have said that word) when I watch it on BBC 1. by the way I reran W2R1 of C25K this morning. 😊🏃
Well Done Al, nice to hear you’ve got those running shoes on again. 🏃♂️🏴
Yes no problem at all, got the app now, didn't have it the last time, I got a new upto date Smartphone just 2 weeks ago and can post these 😂😂😊😊🏃🏃on it. Still got the old phone but compared to this new one it's retro, 2 GB compared to 64GB for the new phone
Brilliant news! It’s a fab app!
Congratulations Tasha. You have worked so hard for that and really deserve it. Very happy for you 
Thank you!
Brilliant, well done Tasha 🥇🏃🏻♀️👏👏👏. I’m still a couple of minutes off that time, but definitely want to get there 😀
Great time Tasha99 and so glad that the running club has made such a difference. 😁
Congratulations Tasha. Well done - you must be so chuffed! 🙌🙌 My goal is a sub 30 too - by Christmas. My best is 31.19 so should get there in the next 3 months or so. 🏃♀️🏃♀️😊
Good luck!
😉 thanks
Boom 💥 go you such a wonderful achievement, well done 😎
I have left a post on strava, but hey sub 30 deserves another one, brilliant Tash, huge well done!!
Well done Tasha99. I haven’t done sub 34’ yet so hoping to chip away as a result of increasing distance but I’ll have to stop chatting to people as I go round. Sub 30 is excellent. 🏃♀️👏👏
Well done Tasha, you smashed it! I just got under 30 minutes too recently, and it's a fab feeling! 😁 I have signed up for a 10k race on 16th - it is a hilly course so will be achallenge! My first race (not counting Park Run), I'm a tad nervous! 😬 I have joined a running group too, it has helped me get used to hills as previously I tried to avoid them! Happy running! 😊🏃👟
Good luck on your race! I booked my first HM today for May with my group 😱😂 Better start going more than 10k!
Wow! I'm just getting used to the idea of running 10k, a half marathon seems very scarey! Go you! 😁
Congratulations Tasha, it’s such a milestone to get under 30 mins! 😀👏👏
I’ve managed it a few times and it feels so good to do it. 😀Every run is different though and every time you run is an achievement, no matter how fast you go and you learn something new. No experience is wasted. 😊👍
Excellent! That’s an amazing time - many congrats on your pb 👏🏻👏🏻😀
Well Done! Good luck for the next challenge, whatever you decide that is!!! 😁
Brilliant Tasha! I know how much you wanted this and I'm so pleased for you 😁
Joining a club has been one of the best things I've ever done as well. I'm running faster than I ever thought possible but also more importantly have met some really lovely people x
I’ve been a bit emotional! Been chasing it for so long! Can’t believe how far I’ve come!
I knew you'd do it (especially watching your progress when you joined the club) and have been waiting for this post 💕
I'm going to try to PB next Saturday at pacers week and I know it's going to be really hard - wish me luck!
I do! You’re a talented runner!
Aw thanks Tasha 😍 not sure about that but I'm certainly a much better runner than I ever believed myself to be x
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽!! Go Tasha!! That must be an amazing feeling!! Congratulations to you!! You’re a star!! 🤩❤️
It is! Thank you! A long time coming!
😁! Brilliant! “It’s in the bag”! 😉❤️
Well done Tasha. you are so determined and motivated! x
That’s amazing ! Very well done!
Wow Tasha well done!
Well done!!! Well done!!! Well done!!! So pleased to see your post and read of your success. Such perseverance! 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🎉🎉🎉🍾🥂⭐️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊 I wonder how long the smile stayed on your face? I'm smiling thinking about it. I expect that your age grade percentage thingy has also been getting higher and higher. I wonder whether you have a target for that too? We can find so many targets to aim for it is a really personalised journey this running challenge!
I have begun to ponder the fact that the 30 minute 5k is 'a thing', but men do have a great advantage over ladies at 5k and yet we tend to think of sub 30 irrespective of gender. Ah well! I have to confess I have a definite urge to go for the sub 30 5k too, but I shall have to be patient, having not run all the time we were away.
I do hope that the term has been beginning well. I think that you had year 6s last year. Do you have year 6 again? Well done again! Brilliant! 🎉😊
Awe thank you for your lovely post! Yes my age grading is now about 52% so I’m glad I’m now over the half way mark!
Yes I’m back in Year 6 - I don’t think I’ll get out of it really: there aren’t many people who will do it!
Thank you again Xx
I did it!
I did it 😁🙌🏻🏃🏻♀️🎉👟
I just did a half marathon!!🎉
I did it! First 10k done ✅🎉🎉
I did it, I ran for a whole hour!!!! 🙌🏼🎄
