Wwek 9 run 3 :-)

[mshuffnpuff]

Week 9 run 3 completed this morning Got to 30 mins but hadn't reached 5k so I continued till I got there. 39.17 slow but if anyone had said when I'd done week 1 run and ended up looking like a beetroot and totally out of breathe, that I would keep it up and graduate I would never have believed them. Hadn't run since school 37 years ago and even then I wasn't very good. Just seen Mo Farrah on tv and looking at what he has achieved makes me realise that in the grand scheme of things the fact that I have run 5k is very insignificant .....but, for me, it means the world. Helping both my confidence in that i CAN do what seems at the beginning to be the impossible and also helping my self esteem. Love reading all the encouraging comments on this site too.

Never play down your own pace- and never, ever even think of comparisons to Mo Farah lol!!

Running 5k under 40 minutes is an excellent achievement xx Either of those elements is an excellent achievement

Well done

Congratulations!! Amazing time for your first 5k on your graduation run too. Not insignificant at all - people beginning the C25k programme would look at your 5k and consider you an inspiration. Huge well done!
