Feeling pretty pleased with myself after my first 35 minute run today. My pace felt good n is definitely improving n I actually managed to get past halfway to 5k! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ I even enjoyed the wind, it helped to keep me nice n cool. Plus I’ve completed 4.53 miles for Miles for Mind, only 45.47 to go! Happy days!

Thanks AlMorr but sadly, it wasn’t 5k but only just over halfway to 5k, 2.67k to be precise lol. But it’s the first time I’ve broken halfway so I’m very pleased 😁

That's great you are so positive and enthusiastic. We are all getting there at our own pace. I huffed and puffed for 39 mins to get to a 5k in my second run since graduating. It was hard going! When's it going to get easier? πŸ’¨πŸ˜©

SeeJillRunGraduate in reply to Keston54

Thanks! Are you doing any consolidation runs? I did 8 before it started to get easier but I’m so glad I did as my pace keeps increasing now 😁. Give your body a bit of time to adjust with some consolidation n you’ll soon notice a difference 😊

Just 2 runs since graduation yes will keep at it ! One of them being the 5 k and it taking 39 mins so maybe overdid it. Patience and practice ! That's good to know πŸ‘πŸ‘

SeeJillRunGraduate in reply to Keston54

That’s exactly it, patience and practice. Compared to a lot of us, 5k in 39 minutes is just fine. I reckon it’d take me over an hour! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
