Finally did my 5k run, after finishing my Runkeeper 5k plan last weekend.
As I didn’t reach 5k in the 35 minutes last weekend, I knew it would take me a few more runs to get there.
Knowing it was a bit of a jump in distance, I took it really slow, afterwards being chuffed to see that I stayed in Heart Rate Zones 1 to 3, and not swerving into 4 or 5 as I often do.
The whole run also felt great! Slowly joggling along, listening to a podcast, passing all sorts of milestones, from my fairy house with a little commemoration, the little hill at the turn-back turn, the allotments….
I only stopped under a tree to wait for a hail shower to pass, but otherwise it felt as I could run continuously and forever! I’ve found my happy zone!
Happy weekend running, everyone!
