First time reaching the 5k distance. Was hard going near the end but I made it. 44 minutes so now need to work on my pace to stop those tortoises overtaking me 🐒🐒🐒🐒

Just relax... the tortoises are doing just fine.. along with the snails... emulate them !

" In Philosophy, if you aren't moving at a Snail's pace, then you aren't moving at all."

I love that quotation :)

Well done! I completed my 5k on Saturday with a time of just over 45 mins. I am now aiming for 10K and want to increase my pace too. I am hoping that the stronger I get that my pace will naturally increase.
