4.5k Getting there

[Sezza2u]

I am determined to do 5K. I'm so slow and today ran further than I have before. It took me 50 mins though!!!! I think I am the slowest runner in the world, even dog walkers over take me and the other day there was an older lady who walked quicker than I run. Hey ho, I'm running and one day I will do 5K. I'd like to do a 10K but the thought of running for 2 hours fills me with fear lol.

These longer gentle runs will eventually speed you up a bit, our first 5k took 52 minutes and we were so proud

Don’t make every run a long one will you? mix it ip short and fast or long and gentle

Thank you, I am glad it took someone else a similar time and yes I will be proud too when I get there.

No, I don't do every run a long one. Today I just fancied it and was feeling good and capable. I do mix it up with short and gentle and long and gentle. Not sure I can say anything is fast LOL

There will come a time I promise you, we are in our sixties and we have speeded up a little

I’m also super slow. A long way off 5k! I’ve done two 30 minute consolidation runs after C25k and managed around 3.5km. It will come x

I’m still only managing about 3.3k in 30 minutes and I don’t care because I’m still amazed I can run at all.

This post makes my happy as I just finished week 6 and can’t even see the 5k goalpost !! I don’t think physically I’m able to go faster ...,one day maybe!!!
