Wow just gets better

Went out for first run of the week and managed to beat Fridays run and time. Another 5k this time 16 secs faster than last one done in 27 mins 31 secs. I think this was 34th consolidation run with Laura. The fourth run in succession that’s improved. Good luck everyone you can do this.

Thank you just my journey. Running since second week of January 2019 and now running 5k regularly more often than not in under 30 mins. Was determined to graduate and did. Now consolidating on a regular basis.

No that was 34th consolidation run so have worked hard and maybe I had an advantage over a lot of people in doing Dog agility so ran for short bursts but nowhere near 30 mins.

It’s good to come out the app every so often to see the word graduate after your name and to think before January I had not run for any length of time
