After such an amazing run on Wednesday (my first 5k) I got pre-run jitters today. My head wasn't in the right place and I set out not knowing whether to try for the 5k again, or stick to the 28 minute run. As Laura kept track of my progress, and Lucy my spaniel edged me on-wards I decided to go for the 5k so when Laura said I could stop, I didn't.
5k in 32 minutes but it was harder today.
I would love to shift those two minutes and have 3 runs before graduation.....any suggestions please?
Really well done on your run
If the 5k is just the running part that is a very good time
In reality you don't need to be able to do 5k in 30 mins it is more about creating a good routine of being able to run 3 x a week for approx 30 mins and then go on from there.
For many 5 in 30 doesn't happen during c25k and it something to work on after graduation
I wouldn't push it , do the runs as they come If it happens naturally even better , obviously we are all different you should do what suits you and go on how you feel , I don't think it would be to long before you do achieve your goal of 5 in 30
Yes the 5k is measured from when I start to when I stop running. You always give such good advice. I think having the dog with me makes me run faster but I'll do as you say and just enjoy the next few runs knowing I have years ahead to hit that particular target. Thanks keeping me focused.
I love Spaniels too
love to see a pic, i had a springer along time ago .
Sorry Rob and Yamiskoi,
but I couldn't work out how to add a picture to this post, or how to update my profile with a picture, so wrote a new post on behalf of Lucy.
