I ran 5k

havetrainerswillrun profile image

Last night I went for a run but I decided to keep going after the app told me to stop - and I ran 5.2k and could’ve carried on.

Back in April when I started C25K I never thought I’d do it - but I did.

Am supposed to be doing Parkrun on Saturday to formally end the course but instead I’m going to find somewhere beautiful to go and run 5k on my own.

Awesome! I'm on week 7 & never thought I'd be running for 25 mins. How long did your 5k take?

About 48 mins - two days later my legs are aching but I’m going to put that down to the heat!

Good luck for your graduation run on Saturday, many people find that they like to run their graduation run at a parkrun, however, like you, they prefer to run it alone, good luck. 👍 🏃
