My 5km event was today but with going back a week to jog outside and other obstacles I wasn't up to the end of the programme in time, so I did the podcast I was up to until last 5 minutes and then started again. I managed 5km in 42 minutes! Feels so good, just need to finish the final couple of runs :) so pleased. Thank you all for your messages, they remind me I am not the only one going through this :)
