So a while back I thought I was doing 5k in sub 30 mins but it so happens my Garmin HR was recording the wrong distance! Anyway I’ve been working away at increasing pace on short run and 5k Run weekly (I’ve just finished wk4 of bridge to 10k) and have done it! I’m super happy so wanted to share!

Awesome Flying high! I have only recently cracked the 30 minute barrier, over a year after graduating. It certainly gives you a buzz!! The three different runs per week definitely works for pace and distance at the same time 👏🥇👏👏🥇🥇🥇🥂🥂
