Well.... at just under 43 minutes it clearly wasn't my individual effort.... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Very glad to have done my bit to contribute to the End To End world record attempt at the most people running 5k today! As an extra sweetener, this was the first time in a very long time that I have managed to do 3 runs in a week. Hooray for my new part time working status!!!! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸ₯³πŸŽŠ

Well done Fionamags, I went down to a 4-day part time week (my choice) about 18 months ago. It makes running regularly much easier! 😊

Its amazing, isn't it? My job is so full on as well. I dropped from full time to a 3 day week and I feel like I'm on holiday - i can't stop grinning.

I am very very jealous of both of you. Well done on getting back to 3 a week - I've been struggling with that as well. Just by chance, I did 5k yesterday & am doing JOGLE. I wonder if it would count for the record?

All done - and of course I had to order a t-shirt & bling πŸ™„πŸ˜†

Yes its hard to find the time if you're working full time. Part time working is a game changer!!!

How you getting on Peggy? Are you managing to run at the moment? Btw it wasn't you who sent me a follow request on Strava was it - just noticed the second half of your name? It was Sue somebody or other. I didn't recognise the name so ignored it in case I ended up getting sold a kitchen. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ If it was you then send it again!

I’m ok thanks Fiona.. still trying.. I completed week 4 of Couchto5k again this week, but I’ve been stalled by migraine subsequently.. thoroughly shit couple of days with it so no run today..I’m not sure whether to risk week 5 as I need my stump to be good for my adventure weekend later this month.. I have to remind myself that progress is not necessarily linear..😊Some good news this week though as I’m to be a grandma for the second time in the new year, all being well..🀞

I may have tried to add you on Strava?..can’t remember.. just had a look but can’t find you now.. I’m Sue W and my photo is a moody beach sunrise snap with the castle headland in the background if you can find me?

Ha ha ha glad to hear it! Congrats on the new grandchild to be - that's wonderful news. I'm sure you are a good judge of what you can manage - week 5 can wait till you've got your weekend out the way surely? Enjoy!

Oh well done for running 3 times, AND breaking a world record (hopefully).

Also have submitted mine. Here’s hoping that soon we all can claim to be a record breaker! πŸ€©πŸ†

It must have been, I wanted to sign up then realised we were running with a friend to finish week 1 and at her speed i couldn’t imagine going the full 5k
