I can't believe where I am in my journey! I started out up and down a river... running for 30 seconds. Now I'm out and about doing 5km two days and 2.5km one day at speed and loving it! Where ever you are just keep going and you will get there! I have to say identifying different routes to keep me interested has been a big life saver for me! Today was my best pace yet!

Parkrun will help with that! Make sure you register and get your barcode. Enjoy!

Well done. You should get into Parkrun for sure. Start now, your ready with that pace. I've done 5 and am not up at your pace yet. Each week you can try and improve on your PB time.

That's great. I have just completed my first 5k today w8r3 but my time was 46:05. I really want to increase my pace now and also move on for 10K. Any tips?

I have no idea! I just tend to have bursts of speed now and again if I'm able. I think it has just been time and consistence of running really. 🤗

Ok thanks. I'll just keep the training up to 10K going and hopefully my speed will naturally increase.
