But did anyway and smashed my pb by a minute πŸ’ͺ Yey! I graduated on 3rd September and my first 5k was a week later at just over 37mins, determined to get 30min 5k now!

Well done..... Just make sure you keep up with your stamina and strength exercises and take care of those running legs with plenty of stretching and rolling after the runs:)

The legs are only just starting to get going now... you need to take care of them... :)

Some really good paces there - well done! Funny how those runs often come when we don't even feel like running!

Any zombies? At that pace though you'll have shaken them off!!! Taking 4 minutes off your time is pretty impressive. BTW I can't see your runs on my ZombieLink :-(

No zombies today! Odd coz I had chases turned on! I've just turned my public sharing off and on again, see if that does anything. I can see two of yours.

😁 thanks! It's funny how that goes sometimes, maybe we put in a bit of extra effort to make up for not being bothered beforehand.

Not what you're looking for?
