It has taken a while but managed to run under 30 mins for 5k. Feeling epic now. Bring on the beer! Used some walking bits to get my heart rate under 173. Oh it feels good....

Well done Gettingfitter its a great feeling when you crack that 30m/5k target. I am sure over time your running time will improve.

5 pints! Stick to one and your speed will go up !!! Nag, nag, nag

Well done on your sub 30 minutes. You're running! That's all that matters. A PB would be gravy though ey. Dip yer bread in!
