W14 maybe I’ve become a 🐢now

Well I completed my self styled w14 ie 5 weeks post graduation. Still find it so hard but never run less than 30 mins. I am getting faster very slowly but still a long way off 5 k. Can do 4.7 including the walk elements which I stick too.

I’m going to loose the week count from now on and just joggle along. I tried the speed podcast hated it ! Hate the music and just no idea how to count my steps per min !! Happy just keeping on frightened of stopping but the heat will force a break till Monday.

Well you are still doing it that's the main thing, I don't get near 5K with just the 30 min's run if I include my warm up/cool down walks then its just off, but I think if/when it happens that will be great, I so enjoy getting our there.

I’m nowhere near 5K. In fact I have to run on for a few minutes to get to 4K! It will come. I don’t include the walks in my timing.

Same here, 5k does not seem to be at my reach at this point. I’m about 3.66k in 30 mins.

We’re probably about the same. It doesn’t matter! We’re running for 30 minutes. I ran on for 3.5 minutes on my first consolidation run to get to 4K, because it was so close! The second run I did it again, and it was easier, but still not within 30 minutes. It will come.

Hey Delgirl, you're doing great! I'm still on Team 🐢 but gradually getting a bit faster, main thing is we're out there running and we've kept on going 🤩 wise idea not to run in the heat, we're on a 2 day break now because if it, always find I'm itching to get back out there running when that happens so think you'll be fine with your break 😃
