Completed W9R1........4.8 K covered!

Amazed I’m doing that well but now I know what pace I have to run at to hit the 5K I’m determined to smash it in the next 2 runs! 😁

Well done! Im sure you'll do it - I managed a 5k today in 39min, which included me randomly running extra. Slow, but I'm dead chuffed! Aiming for a 35min by the end of the consolidation runs.

Thank you......feels great just to be able to run for 30 mins as I was out of breath after 60 seconds in week 1....keep up the good work! πŸ‘

I repeated week coz I couldn't do 1min... took an extra week 5, took AGES to get from 20min to a comfortable 25min and apparently didn't really need the 25min-28min step (maybe coz I did lots of extra trying-to-get-to-25min?)!

That's a really good pace. I am nowhere near that fast; most people don't get near 5K in 30 minutes, so you should feel proud. Twice more and you're there.

Thank You. I’m very proud of myself and ever so slightly amazed at how well I’ve done!
