5k PB! 😊πŸ₯‡πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

β€’14 Replies

the running angels smiled kindly upon me today!

I set out faster than usual and much to my surprise it felt good, so to further surprise, I sped up, managing to sustain a pace of 5.29 per km and finishing the 5K at 27.25, over a minute shaved from my previous PB! Not quite sure what happened, other than I had tea and biscuits before leaving. I feel really pleased because while I’m not sure that I can repeat it, and while it was slightly nauseating by the end, it’s reminded me that pushing myself isn’t too dire...does this mean I could go faster?! Perhaps shouldn’t push my luck!

Happy running β˜€οΈ

I'm not going to hazard setting out to do a "faster" 5km run again for a few months. Each time I have tried it's meant time on the IC.

Well done! πŸ‘

PS. I'd check whether anybody's putting rocket fuel in your tea. πŸ˜†

It is risky business, I do prefer going slower and enjoying it but felt ok about the speed yesterday
