Where did that come from?

All my couch to 5k runs were about 4.7k in 30 mins. It looked like I’d never run 5k in 30 mins. I even stopped using Runkeeper.

I’ve been doing ju ju 10k for a few weeks now - I used Runkeeper again today and was amazed. I ran 6.3k in 30 minutes this morning. Where did that come from? For some sections of the run I was at 14km/hour. I didn’t feel I was running any faster. Blummin heck if I could run 14k in 60 mins I will be well chuffed. I’ll have to see if it’s repeatable now and not some Strava fluke? Looking forward to my 39 min run on Friday. Is anyone else enjoying the drop in temperatures, it is such a relief. I can’t say I’ve enjoyed running much in the heat.

Sometimes those apps don't work properly, one of the runs on a older app I had got me running 5K in 10 seconds, of course that was wrong, however, in your case it could be correct, check it when you go other runs.

Fingers crossed. But I’ll check ur again on Friday. Tbh the speed didn’t matter too much. Initially I just wanted to be able to run for 30 mins. It was only when I used the app that I paid a bit more attention to times. I will be pleased to get to 60 minutes running and hopefully 10k or thereabouts.

Fantastic run and speed for you. Sometimes when you're not trying, wonderful runs evolve. Glad you are enjoying your journey to 10k. Happy running 🤗
