Finally cracked 5k after graduating some weeks ago - was determined to crack it as have the time (ish) due to summer holidays. Also did my first parkrun today and did it in 50 mins which is like lightning for me - feeling very proud of myself!

It is amazing to run for a distance on 5 kilometres, very well done. It took me many many weeks before I could even think about doing more than that and I did a 5.5 K on a good day! I think the 5k is the foundation of our running, it fits well into our busy lives too and builds a great level of fitness. Brilliant
