One word describes todays run, here it is - Wooooooohoooooo

I managed to run for 30 minutes and I managed to do 5km. I know its abouthe time spent running and not the distance but boy does it feel good. Chuffed to have completed this milestone. 9 weeks ago you would not have bet on a 44yr old, 5ft 3, 13st 5lbs running for 5 mins let alone 30 mins and def never 5k. Thanks all for your support. lets keep it going

Brilliantly well done! I'm way behind you as I ran for 30 minutes on Sunday but only did 3.5K. However, I hope to improve my speed eventually. See you on the podium. 😀

Look forward to it Jo. My competitiveness kicks in. So i think I might be going off a tad too fast. However I might competitive on 5K but my plan is to up the length of time running but not necessarily run it in the splkit times I have for 5K. Now I know I can run 5K my next 2 runs def going to be slow and steady and get bready for Park run on Sat or maube next Sat
