New PB for me!

Ran my fastest 5K today! Just wanted to share that with everyone.......I've decided what works for me is to set my own pace and have Samsung Health app set to tell me each km completed. I'm quite proud of myself, and I'll be 48 on Monday so I think for someone my age who only started running a year and a half ago a 42min 5k is pretty good!πŸ€©πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’ͺ

Happy Birthday! I'm approaching that one too. I've found it good to just let my body decide what the pace is. I turned off the timing notifications to take the pressure off and just hear the distances now. I ramble around the fields and lanes happily enjoying being in the middle of nowhere and actually it must work as I've got my fastest 1 km and 1 mile PB out of today's run! :-)
