After two shorter consolidation runs, 20 and 25mins, I was determined to get back to running for at least 30 mins. Despite having had a very busy week I managed over 40 mins and completed only my second ever 5k (5.9 actually) Feeling pretty good this evening πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Good that you are feeling great this evening, that is the way you should feel all the time especially after running for a full 30 minutes and running your second 5K, well done πŸ˜€ πŸƒ

Great run. Staying out for 40 mins is fab and nearly 6k as well πŸ‘πŸ‘

Super run... keeping one longer is a good idea too. Enjoy the next one

I’ve done two shortish runs too . About 25 mins

Just getting used to running without Sarah !

I’m going to try 40 mins and hope to get near that 5k next run

Fantastic that you’ve managed it twice already !!!

Thanks, only managed 22 mins today though. Nothing to do with the late night and wine I drank I'm sure! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I am sure it is no related at all :D

And 22 minutes it's quite nice run. Always remember where we were just few months months ago ;)

Hi, I’m finding that since graduating I can do 5k+ once a week usually a Tuesday (first run of the week) ! Then I do what I’m comfortable doing, which is around 2 - 2.5k. I’m ok with this for now. However, my run on Saturday ( last run of the week) was awful, I did 2.65k but I was struggling to breathe properly and my legs just didn’t want to move???πŸ€”

I'm finding the same. The 5.9k on Fri was easy but struggled to do 3k today πŸ™„ not going to be too hard on myself though, as long as I can do it once a week I'll be happy. Planning on doing a park run at end of this month πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
