Well I got out there today finally plucking up the courage to start the journey to 5k.

So far so good perhaps a bit too easy but we'll see as the next runs go later this week. Loved the encouraging words from the podcast and the music helping to keep a good tempo.

Managed to log my walk / run on Strava to see what progress I'm making. Did a nice loop along a bridal / footpath near to were I live which was mainly away from main roads.

Did 4.3km in 33.27m average bpm 135 with a max of 183bmp
