🏃MMD's Weekly Virtual 5K Run 3 28th - 30th August 2020🏃

[MontyMooDog]

It is hoped this will become a regular weekly event for GRADUATES of the C25K program and is intended to supplement the "Monthly Consolidation Club" in the prolonged absence of "parkrun". It is open both for seasoned 5K veterans and also those GRADUATES wanting to progress through "Consolidation" up to the elusive 5K mark and possibly beyond.

It is NOT intended to be a race or competition of any kind. It is meant purely as a point of inspiration and a forum to swap running experiences whether good or bad on the road to 5K. Hopefully it will help ensure we all keep our interest in running alive through the coming months and years.😀

FAQ

Who is eligible to take part?

The event is open to all GRADUATES but please read precautions below:-

***IMPORTANT*** Runners who have just GRADUATED and have fallen VERY short of 5K in 30 minutes MUST go through a proper period of "Consolidation" BEFORE attempting the event. However walking breaks are perfectly fine! If you are reaching 5K or thereabouts including your 5 minute warm up / cool down periods then you are good to go !!! For further information click here:-

Yes good to have some sort of weekly structure isn't it.. 👍

[PhoenixRise Graduate]

Yass! 👌🏻

What a fab idea! I've only managed the full 5k once so far, but this will motivate me to push on I think! I'm doing the virtual race 4 life next month and would love to do it around the 30 minute mark, but really will just be happy to have run it 😊

Yes just take your time. Pace will come with increased fitness👍

4 more runs to go to graduation then hopefully I can join you! I’ve not been including the warm up/ cool down time in Strava...should I be? Does it count as part of the 5K?

[MontyMooDog Graduate in reply to Bcbhorn1]

If you want to include the walks then that's fine👍
