I've just sent the following to the Admin team....
"There are a few of us who have recently graduated and have started consolidation. I posted earlier on the main forum about how I ran my first ever 5 k this morning albeit at a steady pace and it started off a discussion. We feel that it's important to maintain momentum going forward and some are a bit lost without the help of a program to follow with coaches supporting us. Some have tried for the 5 k but stopped at 30 minutes more out of habit than out of puff.
So I came up with the idea of a "Weekly Virtual 5k" which we believe would focus a few minds and help likewise runners move forward. What it would entail is a 5k run once a week as a consolidation run but then post up a brief write up with maybe a photo and personal stats. It's not meant to be competitive or a race but maybe a help towards the Park Runs when they start up again. It would perhaps be accessed as a weekly pinned post.
Wondered what your thoughts were on this and would it be possible to set something like this up?"
If anyone is interested in this please reply below, spread the word and we'll see how much interest we get. Thanks in advance ππ

I would be interested, but I'am going away for a month from today so will not be running again until the 30th Aug, so I think I will be running a bit less than 30 min's at first? plus I have not reached 5K in 30 min's in fact I have not reached 5K
Iβd give it a try! Only 2 x 5ks so far in last 2 weeks ..... but I was thinking my next 3 week goals could be 1x 5k, 2 x 30 minutes, so it fits nicely! Would it be a pinned post so itβs easily found?
Yes I would be interested - hopefully about 3 - 4 weeks away from my first 5K but would like to be part of this for motivation afterwards. Please keep me posted! Thanks.
