Congratulations Sara1412 I wouldn't say that 35 minutes and 52 seconds was slow, that's a great time. Definitely for your first 5k!!

Congratulations ☺ I beat you though, I was even slower with 44 minutes last time out! It's all great fun though, and unlike most things that are fun it's actually good for us ! Well done Runner 😀

Don't beat yourself up Sara, I can only dream about a sub 40 minutes.

Congratulations on your first 5k! What a great time too! You must be massively proud of yourself. Give yourself a bit of a rest if you're achey and try not to push yourself too hard. After eight weeks on the injury couch I can tell you it's not fun at all and best avoided at all costs. :)
