Brilliant, 5k is a real challenge isn't it? After I graduated, it took a while but once I did 5, I ran that three times a week and I was surprised that it took a while to become comfortable - good runs, horrible runs and ok ones along the way. All well worth getting into a three times a week 5k habit! My speed has improved over my grad year but never by trying to go faster. I chose to work on getting my 5k comfortable and then my pace improved by itself. I wanted to make increasing distance my goal and I think running further and faster would have damaged my delicate legs! LOL

Well done! That's one of my goals for the next few weeks - to gradually increase my distance until I hit the magic 5k!

Just enjoy running for a while :)
