First 5k

Hi everyone! My first post on here and my first run since completing c25k on Thursday. I was determined to do 5k and managed it tonight in 36mins. I did struggle running against the wind by the sea and felt like giving up on 4.5k but needed to get my 5k Sunday badge on the Nike running app ๐Ÿ˜‚

Think I need to build my confidence up as still donโ€™t feel like a โ€˜runnerโ€™ and whilst Iโ€™m blasting tunes in my ears Iโ€™m certain everyone can hear me panting ๐Ÿคฃ Happy I made this milestone though ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Congratulations on completing your first 5k, your time was OK, sub 40 minutes is nice, most people who run their first 5k run it in around 33/43 minutes.

Well done on graduating and life beyond. I know what you mean re the Nike App!

You are most certainly a runner now and you can experiment by mixing up your runs a little.
