5k in under 30 mins.... Soooo pleased!

[Burghfield]

Just back from doing 6.24km in 37.28 and the first 5k of that done in 29.56 Yippeee. On Saturday I managed my first ever 10.25km in 1.07.07, can't quite believe the progress.... In such a short time... Going to try my first Parkrun in Newbury on Saturday. Have to post this, just to see it in writing, cos no one who knows me would believe me 3 months ago!

Good for you! I hope to follow in your footsteps someday (I've only just completed week 4). Good luck with the Parkrun.

Thanks, stick at it and the clever way that the podcasts build you up gradually really gave me confidence and I am sure you will get that buzz too...

Oh well done Burgh! Great times there. I am green with envy at your sub 30 minute 5 k.

keep up the good work!

[Burghfield Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Cheers, it surprised me too! But a lot has surprised me over recent weeks, would still love to be able to run without thinking that I am about to die at any point....
