Struggling but won’t be beaten

[Schofield]

I’ve been struggling since December to get back into a running pattern, didn’t realise just how quickly my fitness levels would fall. Managed my first outdoor run of the year and my first 5k full 30 mins run since end of November. Pushed through despite wanting to give up... used the c25k app to help with motivation.

Well done. I would call 5k in under 30 struggling though

I think it’s cos I’ve had much better times on the past, it was tough compared to previous runs

Great run and great time 👏👏Well done for getting out and sticking with it. It’s not easy when it’s freezing 🥶

It was so cold.... i was trying out my new gloves and hat, it did show me that I love outdoor running so can’t wait for lighter nights

Congratulations on completing a sub 30 minute 5k, your fitness isn't all that bad with that time, if you consider yourself as unfit, once you are fit, a sub 25 minute 5K is not put of the question. 😊

Fingers crossed 🤞

Great job... I’m going to attempting my first 5k in 30 since November too soon!

Happy running.

Thanks, it was so so tough but I kept reminding myself I’ve got a 10K to train for and to man up 💪🏻💪🏻 you’ll do great
