Just Saying Hello

Just saying Hi. I'm a newbie here, but running Week 9. Run 1 yesterday. Not a great run in the heat on holiday in Mallorca. Heyho, some runs are better than others.

I know that the biggest stumbling block that I have is my own mind. 30 mins is doable really, but boy is it difficult.

At the pace I'm running, how will I get to 5K though, or should I not worry and keep working on this going forwards?

Don't worry about not reaching the 5k make that a work in progress just enjoy the moment of running for 30 minutes and getting your graduate badge. Well done on getting so far without the forum.

That's the attitude and bear in mind a lot of Graduates never made 5k and quite a few still haven't
