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!
