I ran my first 5k today!

I graduated last Saturday doing 4k in 30 mins and have done 2 x 4k runs plus one interval training with friends already this week.

Today i did 5k in 35mins 43 seconds, very pleased with that time! I think the cooler weather/wind/rain helped considerably!

Next goal to get the time down :)

Well done! 35 mins is great. Faster times will come and it sounds like you’re going about it the right way, shorter runs with faster intervals definitely helps. Good luck!

Good time! Interval training will certainly help you get it down. Well done.

Great time! Did my second 5k today - about a minute slower than you but very happy!
