5k in the bag

[Minty4]

I graduated a few weeks ago but that only got me to 30mins of running. I've continued to increase the time (and distance) and slowly but surely I've made it! Today I ran my first 5k non-stop. I am sooooooo proud to have achieved this. I just need to keep on running now. Whoop!

[McFitty Graduate]

That is awesome Minty4 😊

That first 5k without stopping is a mega milestone and you have it in the bag!

[Minty4 Graduate in reply to KimLoulou]

I've just followed two Kim Bowdens. Are you one of them?

[Minty4 Graduate in reply to KimLoulou]

Yes, I think you are. I can see the same or similar runs on your profile here.

Well done.👍👍

[MrsShrek]

Well done! That's exactly what I'm doing. I can run 6k without stopping now. It's such an amazing feeling isn't it! 😊

[Minty4 Graduate in reply to MrsShrek]

Well done you too! It feels incredible but I remain slow. Too slow. I need to speed up.

[MrsShrek]

I'm slow too! Slow and steady is my mantra 😀

Just getting ready for ParkRun 👍🏼🏃

This is great news! Over the past few weeks I have also reached 5k and then 6....and this week 7. It's amazing isn't it🏃👍😊

[Minty4 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It is! That's fantastic! It would take me over an hour to run 7k! Well done you!

[Hidden in reply to Minty4]

I'm not much quicker than you and doubt I will ever do a sub 30 minutes 5k. I am just pleased to be doing it tbh! I recommend a good audio book....

[Minty4 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Good idea! Never thought of that.

[Minty4 Graduate in reply to Minty4]

And sub-30, no. I acknowledge I will never do that. But I'd be happy with 35-45 minutes. 35 is my goal. What's your pace?
