I did it. I must admit I did not really feel like going out this morning but I did. I was much slower but kept going. That last 5 minutes seemed to take far longer than 5 minutes. I will never do 5k in 30 minutes!

Don't think about the distance- you're out there getting fitter and hopefully feeling good! I'm an 'older runner' and a bit slow but just concentrate on keeping going for the full 30 mins - eventually we'll be running like gazelles!!! 😊

Thanks. When I started my heart rate was very high when running now it stays much lower which must mean I am getting fitter.
