Hi I am happy for you. I started about the same time and struggle to get to 7min per km 😑but there's hope, I see ☺

Brilliant to see it can be done with effort and time. I need to be banking 5km runs, just managed my first one today at about 38 minutes, so its nice to know it can reduce on timing, it just takes the time on the tarmac.

Def possible! I must have been around 40 plus minutes but its just sticking to it and committing the time to run... and staying positive throughout the run! Lol every negative thought I find adds a few seconds 😱

Now that's an interesting observation! Negative thoughts obviously don't lead to negative splits..
