5k 30mins in sight

[Uphill-downhill]

Today I managed 30.24mins for my 5k, it’s a PB and the result of slowly running longer each week. I’m 7 weeks into consolidation and am doing 1x longer run per week (up to 7/8k) and 2x5k. My goal has been a gradual move to the accomplishment of 10k, but it looks like something unexpected may be possible too ..... 🏃‍♀️💚😀

My goal is that 5k in 30min and like you I’m doing one long slow run and two 5ks a week. I’ve got it down to 30:34, even when dodging round people. I’ve also managed to get my long run to 11k, something I’d never thought I’d accomplish. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic effort, your strategy is paying dividends well done. Your winning on speed and distance. Happy running 🤗

Well done. 3 years ago I ran my first 5K road race. I was secretly looking for a sub 30 minute time. The atmosphere spurred me on and I finished in a time of 29:58. I was thrilled, I felt like I won the race. Your really close now. You’ll pop under that 30 minute 5K barrier very soon. And when you do you’ll never forget it.
