My weekend has started well .... the sun is shining, COVID restrictions have eased slightly and I have just completed my first ever non stop 5k. The time (41.09 minutes) isn’t great but it’s a start. I’m forever optimistic and will continue with personal goals to speed up and improve technique. Enjoy your weekend, folks .

Great job! I'm still hitting 50 mins plus for my 5K's!

I'm not too concerned about pace, my fastest 5k is around 41mins previously.

it will come back again sometime.

But very well done, running a 5k non stop is no mean feat!

Congratulations on your first 5K! 🥳Not such a bad time for your first.. anyway it's good to leave wiggle room for improvement 😆

Well done on your first 5k pinkglen, that’s a fantastic achievement! And a pretty good time too! My 5ks are probably back up to 50 mins as I try and get back to fitness- only up to 3.5 km so far. But I’ve never managed to do 5k in 41 minutes and if I ever do, I’ll be over the moon! Celebrate your 5k won’t you!

Don't worry about the pace. The most important bit is that you've been continuously active for so many minutes and covered so much distance.
