Well this run was epic for me. Covered 6.4 k in 42 minutes including warm up and warm down walk. Fastest K done in 5 minutes 37 seconds and an average pace of 6 minutes 33 seconds.

I’m pinching myself to believe that I am capable of this type of running! So empowering and have been on my feet all day at work so I’m delighted.

To all new runners or midway through the programme, stick with it, it’s life changing in many ways 💪👍👊🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Great run... and 5:37 for a km is very quick for a new runner! 6:33 average is quick too. 2 to go, enjoy them both.

Thanks, I’m surprised as I’ve had a bad back, and wasn’t sure whether or not to go out. So I thought I was going very slowly.

Must be getting fitter 😀

Thanks for your support
