First 30 min run a week and a half early WOOOOHOOOO!!!

Ok, so it’s not quite 5k yet, but I am delighted with this one!!!

Actually ran for 31 and a bit mins... and I still have gas in the tank and...

After managing 27mins on my last run I decided to keep my start and stop positions, but take a slightly longer route.

Despite having to repeat weeks 3 and 4 due to a knee injury (beginners, please check your running form; there are lots of tutorials on YouTube to help you with this), I’ve hit my first 30 min run within the 9 weeks.

Gonna keep at it until I can hit the full 5k (although I think I could have today if not for the mental barrier) then it’s bridge to 10!!!

No matter how hard it feels at the beginning... you can do it... it’s all in the mindset ☺️
