First 5k!

I did my first 5k run today, it took me just over 38 mins but I can live with that! Still buzzing with excitement, I would never have thought it was possible and can't praise the app highly enough or thank the other members enough for all the support along the way.

Big up the runners!!!!

Well done, mine this morning took me nearly 48 minutes so you beat me, that first one is exciting isn’t it?

Very well done, SB... it's a great achievement, you can't beat that amazing feeling when you complete your first 5k 😎

Now keep going, because the more you run, the more you enjoy it.
