Just finished! Painful stictch last 5 mins. Struggling with breathing thru nose thing. Did 4km in 30mins so doubtful I will graduate and be able to run 5k in 30 mins but time for that as I get fitter! Thanks for encouragement!

I am a graduate since June. I have only managed a sub 30 min 5K once. Just being able to comfortably run 5 K without stopping is amazing. Your running a great Pace. Well done.

[AndG Graduate in reply to damienair]

Thanks. I have entered into a 6k run next weekend. I have some running friends who are regularly running 10K and training for half marathons and ridiculous tho it is worried about how I compare to them! We are all posting on Strava. For next run I am going to forget about pace, slow down in beginning and try and avoid stitch! I want to keep running regularly and enjoy it that’s main aim!

Fantastic! I will rummage in the cupboard for the podium polish! Start laying happy post- grad plans! 😀

Hope you've enjoyed your run, graduation just around the corner

I did enjoy it but think went to fast at beginning got quite a painful stitch 10 mins before end which got worse. Didn’t stop me but slowed me down towards end and made it less enjoyable. Next time going to go slower at beginning and concentrate on breathing. I was trying to go a bit faster and wanting to get close to 5k but as I did 4K today that’s not going to happen, but it may do in future!
