Thirty minutes. Half an hour! Woohoo! 2.4 miles, so quite a way off 5k yet, but if I can do half an hour then hopefully carrying on for a bit longer to finish the 5k off isn’t unrealistic? That’s my goal for Christmas Eve...

Happy festive running, folks!

Well done you! 👍🎉👏 Look how close you are to the podium! 2 more runs, just the same as the one you just smashed - you’ve got this! 💪

Enjoy them, and prepare yourself for graduation glory. 👍🎉🏅

Great job. I’m with Oldfloss... graduate, have a great Christmas while consolidating and then lengthen a run to bit by bit to get the 5k.

Fair enough - Makes sense. Why spend weeks building up gradually then go mental right at the end! Don’t want to cripple myself for Christmas Day! Thanks!
