My 1st virtual 5k and tonne of PBs!!

[SammiN3]

I did it!!! My 1st ever sub 30min 5k🎉🎉🎉 wanted to give up the whole way, no music (not by choice) so sound of my puffing and train breathing for company obviously made me run faster- to get it over with🤣

Thank you, I keep checking my strava to double check🤣

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Congratulations!! An amazing run! Maybe you should go without music more often (sorry no emojis on my laptop)

I am way off a sub-30 5k

[SammiN3 Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

It's my 2nd time without music, neither by choice but I didn't mind it quite as much today as last time.

A sub 30 5k has been my aim, so I was really surprised when I saw it! Funny how we have that figure in our heads

[SammiN3 Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you! It didn't feel fast whilst I was out, still keep checking them to check they were real 🤣

[PlymBorn]

Well done !!! 30 mins AND sub 30m 5k ! That’s an achievement! ... 👏👏🥇🥇

Sometimes the worst runs are the best runs and the best runs the worst ... today you proved the former ... and the unpredictability of running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️ ...

Massive congratulations again on that time !

[SammiN3 Graduate in reply to PlymBorn]

Thank you so much... and very true!!

I set a PR today for 2 miles... 20 minutes on W7R3. I'm 90 seconds behind you.

OK. I confess! I chose a route that had a slight downhill gradient for most of it. I then had to pay back that height debt in completing the circle during a greatly extended cool-down walk. Back to my "there and back" route for W8R1 on Monday.

[SammiN3 Graduate in reply to nowster]

Well done that's fantastic, I love getting PBs! I live at the top of a very large hill, everywhere I run is downhill out and uphill back. I used to think it makes us stronger, now I am actually fearing hills and run out as far as I can which is mostly downhill, a long stretch mainly straight, and then finish in a slight gradient before walking the rest in a long cool down walk home. 😊 I'm planning to do some hill sprints one session to try and overcome my fear as I look at my shorter routes around my house that I used to do and I can't believe I managed them. So like you it was downhill🤣
