I did it! I managed 5k in 31 minutes...not bad for a first try! 😁

(Update: It was 31 minutes! This screenshot was before the app corrected itself. It was actually 5.06km in 31:25)

Almost there Poppins93, congratulations on that time of 31 minutes, good chance that you could run a sub 30 minute 5k for your graduation run.

Great stuff Popps, that’s impressive stats! So close to the 30 mins you’ll get it next run 👍

Thank you! Run 2 got me down to 30:35, so hoping I can cut off another 30 seconds in run 3. Fingers crossed ☺️

That’s brilliant 👍! You know what I reckon that’s close enough to claim it, it’s in the 30th minute 😂! I did around the same time in my last week and on my first parkrun on Saturday did 28.25, so you only going to get faster 🙂
