So I graduated about 8 weeks ago and could run for 30 mins but never made the 5k. With holidays and everything else I still ran but couldnโ€™t get there however today was the day - I just went and completed 5k and did it in 41.5 mins - Iโ€™m so chuffed. Thanks to all on here - it really does feel amazing. Park run here I come ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Well done you!!! Have you decided What running life will be for you? Faster.....further or just continue as you are? I am still only running 30 mins 3 times a week I am enjoying the after achievement feeling but still finding the run hard going though must admit hills are now in my routes

Hi Fershome - thanks a mill. Iโ€™m so elated to be able to do the 5k so will repeat for the next 4-5 runs and then do the park run. Iโ€™d prefer to run further distance not too strict re timing !! I just am so happy I can do it but I love it when Iโ€™m out there. Donโ€™t get me wrong every run is tough so hope it will get better.

How about you what are your goals??

I am not sure I run early in the morning and already am struggling as itโ€™s not the same in the dark.... think itโ€™s going to be a long winter lol maybe I may try a longer run on a Sunday....I think I may need a plan to help with the focus.... I do walk a lot having a border collie sorry mojo seems missing just now but reading this forum really helps so keep posting and congratulations again
