Finally hit 5K - ๐Ÿ˜„

Graduated well over a month ago, but struggled to do my consolidation runs due to illness. Finally managed 2 weeks of running 30mins consistently, but was only managing just over 4K in distance. So yesterday I went to a park where they have a measured course and made myself run for 5K. Yay! I finally did it.

Thatโ€™s my next target! Upon graduation I am only hitting just over 4K. Itโ€™s goid to have a new challenge!! Did it feel much further / harder??

I ran a different route, so no old โ€œmilestonesโ€ to distract me. Took it really slowly and can honestly say it didnโ€™t feel any harder than the usual 30min.

Me too! On holiday in North Wales & finally managed the 5k in the rain! I'm doing a 5k fun run with my sister & nephew at the end of the month so really glad to have done it!
