🚨 PBs! 🚨 1 mile, 5k, 5 miles! πŸŽ‰

β€’31 Replies

I can’t quite believe I’m writing this, but this morning I smashed almost all of my goals!

I shan’t go into full details as I feel as though I’m laying my soul bare, but a PB for 5 miles with a time of less than 49 minutes.

Incorporated within it was a PB for a mile with a time of less than 9 minutes.

And a PB for 5K with a time less than 29 minutes. Hooray! πŸŽ‰

Week 5 of the magic plan completed. ☺️

Well done! πŸ‘ You're faster than me.

My PBs are Mile: 9'08", 5k: 29'51" and 8k (5miles): 51'55"

If you're pushed hard to get your PBs you might benefit from an extra rest day.

Thank you Nowster, your PBS are fantastic and I imagine very re-achievable! Not sure I’ll ever pull something off as fast again! Looking forward to catching you up on the 10k distance 😊

10km is just another 15 minutes or so. Pace yourself, start off slow, and you will achieve it. It's not that much different to running 8km. The first time you extend to a particular distance you will definitely feel stretched afterwards. The second time you do that distance, less so.

Thank you for the advice ☺️

Fantastic! What a great post. 😊It is wonderful when things start to come together, but to hit three PBs in one go is a bit special. Well done ⭐

Chocolate cake is a great motivator. Fantastic stats. Ease up on your next 2 runs and you will be flying again next Saturday. Sub 30 5k is always great. Sub 40 for me would be dreamland!

Wohoo πŸ₯³ πŸŽ‰πŸŽŠπŸŽˆ! Sounds like your rolling! What a run!

Wow, that’s impressive!

Think I’ve said bye-bye to ever getting sub-30 for 5k (currently 32’41”) and 1hr 10’ 37” for 10k.

If your running 8k, the extra 2k comes quickly (I won’t say easily!)

Incidentally I tried a sub 30’ pace and nearly killed myself and decided it was a very bad idea and gave up at 3k πŸ˜‚

β€’ in reply toReggit

I tried to do a 30 minute 5k on the treadmill before Christmas and it was horrific so know that feeling! However your times are so great! I’m not sure that yesterday is a repeatable experience!

What amazing runs with all the PBs πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ’ͺπŸ‘ I’m the same as Regitt, I’ve also said bye bye to sub 30min for 5k. Ran it in 32mins 32 and nearly killed myself too!

Congratulations πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
