1st post graduation run

So I ran weeks 8 & 9 in Norfolk which is officially the flattest place on the planet 😀 hence my decent 5K times. Now I'm back in Sheffield which is quite opposite. Those inclines are a killer. I still managed 5.5K over the 30 minutes so not too bad but oh my are the legs suffering.

Well done Pete! Wow, I’m impressed with your 5.5k in 30 minutes. You’re no snail! Hills too. Kudos!

👏👏👏👏

I'm planning on the 10K programme. Then maybe just maybe the Sheffield half marathon next year 😮😮

Do it!!

We are all behind you. Let us know how the training is going and good luck.

A friend of ours started running to raise money for a charity - I shan't go into the details - and she went from never having run (but being slim and very, very tall for a woman) to running a 10 miler in London.

It can be done, and we KNOW you can achieve your goal...

It's a lovely place. Greenest city in Europe (allegedly).

Not what you're looking for?
