Much better run

So after the disappointment of last weeks run the elation of this week supersedes that’s. My run tonight was 3.2 miles in 26.35 mins and the resulting 5k was completed in 25.48 mins getting closer to the 25.00 min mark. What can I say weather was good, was undecided whether to do this run or not but went with it and wow the end result was brilliant so have improved my time for 5k over the year by about 8 minutes and I am consistently between 26 to 28 mins so tonight was a break through. I hope your all still running. Good luck and stick with it.

Wow! That's super speedy, brilliant. That's a huge difference in 5k times over a short time period 👍💪

I don’t know the reason other than running as and when I feel like it once or twice a week. As I have said previously I like my music and up to or around 30-40 mins of lone time including warm up and warm down time each run 🏃‍♀️ and just go with the flow.
