Wk2 run2! Went nice and early to beat the heat. Completed the run which I’m really pleased about however my right ankle is playing up which I’ve never had before, painful on the joint but still good enough to get through,however it’s not helping my pace I’m SO SLOW I think at one point a snail did pass me! I’m very unfit but I feel like I’m lightly jogging not running πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ will speed come? I’m no where near 5k atm more like 3k.

Speed is secondary to running 30 minutes. It may or may not come during the course, you can chase it later if you want to.

For now, there’s a lot in the snails club here and you’re in very good company. You’re doing great, keep racing the snails!

I'm on wk 3 and I'm running to the motto of Slowly Slowly Catchee Monkey. Speed can come later if required but at the moment I'm happy with how I'm doing.

In week 2 it was about being able to keep moving till the next walk period! Keep going snails 🐌 reach their target 🎯
