Week 9 run 1

I did 4.7k in 30 mins, 6.26per kilometre. It’s proving tougher than I thought to crack this 5k in 30 mins, I thought I’d smash it today and I’m still way off, 2 and a half minutes off pace. It’s humbling to be honest, who knew that last half a kilometre was where the challenge would be for me, I love it though so bring it on!!!

You are doing great just 2 runs to graduation. Don't worry about 5k for now just focus on finishing each run . 5k will happen when you're ready good luck 😊

Thanks buddy, I do try and remember that 9 weeks ago I didn’t run at all but I also expect a lot from myself.
