I’m getting close 2 5k!

I ran this evening this is my 2nd run since graduating. I haven’t had the same motivation to go out, but that burning desire to reach 5k is there somewhere 🤔.

I decided to give nike run a go, along with the stepping stone podcast for music which also has you running to the beat. Well I managed 35 mins and 4.85K, so getting there another 5 mins or less added on next Run and I will do it. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Really well done! I know what you mean about motivation post graduation! I've been held back a bit with asthma, so not been able to get on with my consolidation runs as quickly as I would have liked, but trying to keep up my fitness on non run days with yoga, walks. Still a way off 5k, but my pace is definitely getting a wee bit better each run.

Thank you, I have asthma to, so I understand what that means especially when running. I have also been walking and yoga zoom on Sunday. I was doing yoga at the leisure centre 3 times a week,and regular walking to work, hence starting C25k.

That’s a great run! You were only 150m away from 5k, so you are very close! I’m sure you will get there next time! Keep going, as you have worked so hard to get this far. Good luck & happy running!

Yes you are right I was so close, if I hadn’t of stopped I would of got there, but I was really feeling tired and there was an slight incline which also put me off.I miss the motivation from the C25K app. I will push myself to finish and tweak my route. Thanks 😊
