Wowee, nearly there :-)

Still surprised at what I CAN do, every time I go out running. I'm not super fast but that is not the real issue, being able to run fairly comfortably for thirty minutes is amazing! Running at about 7km an hour, so I guess 5k would take close to 40 minutes. I am proud and happy about that. Thanks to such an inspirational group x

Great job.. enjoy that graduation run! If 30 is the average parkrunner... 40 is very impressive in a few weeks from where we start this. 30 minutes at any pace kicks in all those health benefits... that’s all I came here for, as with many of us. You get that 5k and then if you like you can have tons of fun bringing your PB down.

A couple of runs ahead of you. Slow is good. I felt OK on 1st run after graduation and went on for full 5K. It took me around 39 mins.

Now going to do 2x30 mins and 1x5K each week for a while.

Be proud. It is a great thing to do 👍

I guess we must have a similar pace, thanks so much for your words of support. I will probably increase by a couple of minutes each run after graduation!!
