5k new PB

[LUHAN]

Yesterday I ran 6.6 km as part of a longer 'race' my husband has just worked out that i ran 5km in 29.36! Just shows what running those hills has done for my strength work as yesterday's route was whilst i was visiting my parents and mainly flat! I also didn't struggle at all with my breathing. So all those times I have nearly given up on a hill and kept going...I am now very grateful. Sorry for rambling....just amazed!

You are so right . I started running hills on wk9 and they've really paid off. Well done on your 5k in under 30 minutes. 😊😊

Thankyou! I hate them whilst I am doing them but very grateful now x

Excellent and very well done to you for your new 5K PB. Nothing like hills and interval training for improving pace. Great running.

Ahh thankyou! Not so sure I can do it on my usual routes!

Congratulations on completing your first sub 30 minute 5k run LUHAN, it is a dream for many runners like myself who can run a 5K in the 32/34 time on a regular basis but will never get a sub 30, well done to you. 😊 🏃

[LUHAN Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

It definitely won't be a regular thing...there is no way I can do that on my normal routes. X

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to LUHAN]

They say that anyone running around the 32/34 time for a 5k on a regular basis outside could possibly get a sub 30 minute 5k running on a treadmill inside set at 29 minutes, I have never ran on a treadmill except for my gait analysis.

[LUHAN Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Lol...I also ran on treadmill for first (and last) time at a running shop. I had to get of because of motion sickness! I was holding on for dear life and turning green!! The things terrify me and I have the greatest respect for anyone who can keep up with them without getting dizzy!!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to LUHAN]

That's why some people call a treadmill a DREADMILL, to be honest with you I didn't mind my short run on the treadmill for around two minutes with my new running shoes on the day I got my gait analysis. 😊 Belive it or not, some people have ran a 10k or more on a treadmill. 😊 🏃

[LUHAN Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

My husband runs on one every week...he enjoys it. I have no idea how people run that far on one! I would need to take anti nausea pills!

Great job... congratulations on the PB. This is what I was referring to on your reply to my post... not only are you out of your comfort zone, and running longer... you had the determination to keep going at a fast pace!
