Post grad - run 2.... my first 5km

Today I set about on my run with a totally different mindset. I decided to ignore strava and ignore my pace. I was going to run the 5km and wouldn’t stop until I did.

37.49 minutes later I was incredibly relieved I’d reached the 5k!!!

My head was about to burst!!!

I am so proud of myself 😘

Great work Keels, it just goes to show how much of this is mental, rather than physical! 😀 With the right mindset we can all achieve greatness, but what works for one of us might not work for another. 🤔 It’s just a matter of trying different things till you find a strategy that works for you. 👍

Huge congratulations on making it to 5K! 😀
