Well have graduating a few weeks ago I have been running 3 times a week with one of those runs being a longer run. Today, it wasn’t fast and it wasn’t pretty but I completed 7 k in 57 mins. I know it’s slow but am proud of myself as I have never ever run that far in my whole life. 😀

Wow. That's amazing. I can't even begin to imagine running for 57 minutes.... I graduate soon. I guess I'll be doing similar. I'm a plodder so I want to be able to increase my speed after graduation :) well done you!

I could never imagine running for 57 mins either. I find the first 15 mins really tough and then I seem to get in my stride. I set myself little goals along the way, another 2 mins, to that lamppost etc., I am then hoping my short runs will get quicker.

The first 15 seem to be the toughest for me too. I break my long runs down too. Just get to that lamppost then get to the corner then end of this song.... hopefully I can do that for longer than 30 minutes when my back is recovered 🤞🤞
