Great run today! Week 9 Day 1 - run as far as you can in 30 minutes.

I managed to run more than 5K.... Hooray!

I'm so pleased. I passed the 5K mark at 28:07. Not bad for a 49 year old git... who until 9 weeks ago hadn't run since school.

Wow, great pace very well done! Feels good  when you get to 5k doesn't it! 

[moleymoleymoley Graduate in reply to skysue16]

It most certainly does! I feel like celebrating!

Flippin eck you're quick!

5 minute pace is so fast you would appear to a layman that you were sprinting round. I would check the route to be doubly sure. My iphone gps was quite a lot out.

[moleymoleymoley Graduate in reply to rich_wolves]

It's really not that fast. Don't forget that's 5:33 minutes per Kilometre. That works out at 8:50 something per mile.....

Runkeeper verified the distance, so I'm happy.

That a fantastic time for 5km, even more so for someone who hasn't completed the programme yet! Very well done!

Thank you!

Hey, its not a criticism , I think its a brilliant time ... I was just a bit gutted when I bought a fitbit watch and the 5k run was about 0.8k difference between by iPhone measurement of 5k. Mind you, on saying that, I never got below 6:30 per km in any case!

Looking pretty good there. Only 2 runs to go, looks like you're going to finish on a flourish.

[moleymoleymoley Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

Haha! Thanks. 

The B210k is calling..... I might torture myself some more!
