Hi all
Since graduation I’ve been consolidating my 30 minute runs on the same 4K route. This evening I tried a different route and managed to run the entire way, which turned out to be 5.1k 😊It took me 44minutes (couple more hills!) but I’m so happy to be able to say that I can actually RUN 5k without stopping!! Parkrun next 😊xxx
Amazing well done 🏃♀️ another milestone reached 👍
Yay! Well done Beth, that is certainly a big, big milestone, congrats. I think my first 5k of a couple of weeks ago was 47 minutes, so you’re ahead of my schedule 
Thanks HoagyM . How’s the 10k plan going?
All good. I’m following ju-ju’s plan, should do another 6k run later this week, before starting to ramp up with a 7k next week.
Sounds great. I plan to stick to 5k for a couple of months then move on in the autumn. Hoping to enter Cardiff Bay 10k in the Spring
Actually, the 10k I am down for is the Cardiff one in September (I'm originally from South Wales, and will be running with my sisters)... so we may do the Cardiff Bay one next year too
Yay! Well done. I think I am 4 runs away.
Woohoo Beth! Well done that girl. New Route, new fantastic result. The Parkrun won't know what hit it! ☺
Well done BethMay ....consolidation is the key....a couple more just to cement it....possibly at the park run? Be careful not to get carried away at the start 😉
Congratulations on running your first 5k BethMay! Now you know what it feels like and have a pb! 😊....
Great work! Enjoy your Parkrun 😊xx
Wow, yay for you! Brilliant progress!
Well done! It’s a great feeling isn’t it? I’m trying to consolidate with two 4 - 4.5Ks in the week and Parkrun on Saturdays. Parkrun is just brilliant - at 38 minutes, my aim is just not to be lapped!
That’s my plan for the next few months Ebee54 . I generally run in the morning before work and can’t face getting up 15 minutes earlier, so I’ll only have time for 4K 😂. And I’ll probably be last in my parkrun but who cares?! As the saying goes, we’ll still be lapping the person sat on the couch. Enjoy your running xx
Wow, brilliant, can’t wait to do that myself, on week 8 run 2, so slow at the moment but still hanging on in there. Well done Beth
That’s fantastic, only 5 runs to graduation. You’ve got this!!
This is great to hear. I am also only up to 4.5km so knowing 5km is achievable is great! Maybe a new route is required.
Well done, hon!! Proves that slowly chipping away with good humour is the key to success. No stopping you now... xx
Yay! Well done Beth 👏👏🏃♀️👍
Thanks Saartjie . Felt like quite a milestone 😊
Woop woop well done 👏
Awesome, well done. Like you I plan to consolidate my runs now having graduated yesterday and running 3.5k in 30 mins - I can't wait to run parkrun, hope you have a great time
Wow well done! Xx
Congratulations on running 5km non stop, that's my goal too. You have just inspired me to register for my local parkrun. Thank you x
Yay! Well done you! Yes go for Park Run, they are fab! 😁
That’s brilliant; well done you!
I’m on last run of week 8 today but only running just over 3k. Panicking a bit as signed up for 5k Race for Life on 17th July so would really appreciate any advice as to how to reach that goal.
I’d say, don’t put pressure on yourself to run the whole of the 5k by 17th. Just take it steady and run what you’re able to. Good luck with your running xx
Well done that’s brilliant, can I ask do you still do the 5min warm up and cool down walks? and was that included in the 44min for the 5k, I’m on w8 and my actual running was just over 3k today I walked longer to get 4K in total, Thanks xx
Hi Lola. I didn’t include my warm up/cool down walks in the 44 minutes, that’s all running (very slowly!!). Sounds like you’re doing really well, keep going xxx
Well done bethmay ...😊😊
Yay well done Beth 😁😊fab job ✅
There's the Barry island 10k on 5th august if your thinking of braving a 10k so soon 🏃♀️😉😁😊in thinking about it 😁just thinking 💭😁
Well done - that’s my target toi
