5k in the bag!

[Lulu_S]

So three weeks after graduating I’ve actually managed to run for 5k!

Rather hot and sweaty this morning even at 7.30 and slightly slower than my usual 4K pace but I managed to complete it in 43mins. Now I have a benchmark to begin working on increasing my pace and stamina.

Rather chuffed that I ran for longer and further than I have ever done before.

Still can hardly believe it’s only 12 weeks since I started C25K and found week 1 horrendous but wanted to push myself to get fitter and healthier at 57!

To all the graduates I see on here who have had a wobble, I did too and had some terrible ‘runs’ I also missed Laura pushing me on but deep breath and on I’ll go. Can’t let it beat me now!

Brilliant. I did my first 5k a few days ago, it’s a great target to have after completing the programme. Well done!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement.

Umm yes that second 5k run will be a toughy but now I know I can do it it’ll hopefully inspire me to complete another 5k run and to improve on my pace too. I’ve had a real lull over the past weeks and needed to challenge myself, glad I did I’m so chuffed.
