Just missed it!

I'm afraid I haven't been on here for a while due to life being a bit busy but I have still fitted some runs in . . . This morning I thought I would try a "fast" 5k, for me it was quite fast but still not quite fast enough to get sub 30mins, something that still eludes me 😒 Ahhhh well apart from the slightly disappointing time it was a good run. Happy running everybody 👍😃

That's a brilliant run! Lots of positives here to take away. Nice to read a post again! You'll most certainly break this barrier soon 👏👏👏😊

Well I hope so but I have been trying for a while, not giving up 😁

A good run is always pleasing

[orangeguy Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

That is so true, I think its perfect running weather first thing in the morning also at the moment.

Wow. Really well done. That is just at a sub 30 minute 5K pace. If you had just picked up your pace and attempted a sprint finish for the last 200 meters you would have broken through that 30 minute 5K barrier, Great running. You'll break it really soon.

I was running 26 minute 5K's this time last year and at the start of 2020 I was at around 27 minutes. I have slowed down over the past 6-7 months. I can't run sub 30 minute 5K anymore. But I'm on a mission to get back there.

Yes I thought that, so near yet so far 😁 . . . I will keep trying, good luck on you 5k mission too 👍😃

30:10 a disappointing time...you must be bonkers, that's an awesome time! Only another 11 seconds (only, she says! 😆) and you've cracked it 😉

You've got 30 seconds on me but I've given up on speed for the time being and taken up zone 3 HR training.

Glad to see you still getting out there and trying for a PB 🏃‍♂️👍
