First 5k done!

[AllyS]

Woohoo! First one done and feeling a little proud! Graduated about 6 weeks ago from C25k and I was so frustrated that I hadn’t managed to reach 5k by the end of the programme. Managed it outdoors too which makes me even more chuffed given I’d done most of my runs on a treadmill in the gym. It was at a snails pace mind you but onwards and upwards Have a great weekend everyone 😊👍🏻

Snail’s pace is good. Well done for reaching the 5k milestone. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Many thanks Razouski. I’m going to reward myself with a vino or 2 this evening to celebrate 😉🍷

I am a snail usually and it's really fine to go steady and strong.I started getting too ambitious with speed post 5k and got set back by it so don't apologise .Congrats on getting outside.For me being outside is a huge part of the pleasure of running.This autumn is beautiful.Enjoy!

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to Empem]

Thanks Empem ☺️. I’m conscious now of the fact that I need to build it up slowly and steadily as if I’d have hammered it too soon then I’d have been put off and I’d probs have stopped altogether. It’s so lovely being outdoors taking in the wonders of nature 🌲🍄🍁🍃

Well done Ally, I think running 5k is the next target after graduating because only 10% manage it on the same day. I love running outdoors too ,having done a lot of c25k in the gym. Happy running 😀

[AllyS Graduate10 in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy 👍🏻 I did kind of beat myself up for not reaching 5k at end of C25k programme but I realise that not everyone can do it right away. Glad you’re enjoying your outdoor runs too! I’m making progress which is the main thing 😉
