Well I finally got there, I ran my first non stop 5k this morning with a time of just under 41 minutes. I know it’s not the fastest but at least I’m there and I have another benchmark to beat. I carried on to 44 minutes as I’m on week 3 of the magic 10 and can honestly say that this has been the hardest run I’ve ever done. I had a big fight with myself to keep going right from the start and the last 10 minutes were sheer will power but I did it and I feel great 😎😎😎
Happy running everybody.
Tim
Great job 😊 well done Rigpig 🏃 🎊
Congratulations!
Amazing!
Fantastic, very well done Rigpig 👍🏃♂️🎉
Congratulations on your first 5k and that's what we need to keep running ' will power' and lots of it🥳🥳🥳🥳
Fabulous! Well done you!🤚👏🎉
Can’t wait until I get to 5k, you must be so proud 👍
It’s taken me 3.5 months to get here but it’s been worth it 🙂
Congratulations Rigpig on that run, you are at the Magic 10 around the same bit as I am.
Tomorrow I will be either running, run 2 of week 4, 30 minutes near to where I live or if I can get to parkrun, (just noticed that the road is closed due to flooding) the run will be a little longer at around 33 minutes.
Your amazing! Keep it up!
I dream of being able to run 5k in that time! Well done you 👍😁
Well done for doing 5K. Really good motivation. 👀👍🏃♂️
Well done! And it's those tough runs that definitely make us stronger mentally and physically 🏃♂️
Aw, Rigpig, I’ve been following your posts for months! Delighted for you! Well done!!
Well done from Rome where I am not running but wish I was!
Pure class mate. Made up for you. You inspire others.
41 minutes, not fast?! That's awesome!
41 minutes sounds amazing to me! In fact 5k does! Well done! 👏
That’s really amazing- 41 mins does seem FAST!! Congratulations 👍👏👏
Well done on getting your 5k in the bag. You’re an inspiration 👏
Well done!! I’m still slow but improving slightly. My first 5k was 46.39 and quickest (so far) 39.56. I’m happy enough with that. What I’m finding lately is I’m running faster (unintentionally) and burning out and having to walk so I’m having a real battle with myself to keep it slow. (Well, slower than my already slow pace 😂) I’ve got my first 5k race on 8th March and then after that I’m going to really get into the 10k plan. Ur doing fab Tim 👍🏼
Thanks, I think everything is relative and I’m really glad that I finally made it! I have a PB to work on now and as my Saturday runs get even longer I’m hoping my 30 minute runs get a bit faster. I know what you mean about pace though especially starting a longer run my legs are like lead by the end 😄
I've found Nike Run Club (NRC) a useful app as you can put the distance or time in and then each km it tells you in your ear your pace. I've found this a good way of keeping steady as I'm going along.
That first 5k is magic isn’t it? ours took 52 minutes and we’ve been whittling a few seconds off here and there ever since, might get as fast as you one day but by then you will be faster
It is fantastic and something I would have found hard to believe a few months ago!
My first 5k!
My first 5K 
First 5k wohooo
First 5k! W8R3
