Ran first 5k!!!

[9weeks2Run]

I have just completed my first consolidation run and ran 5k !!

My goal was to achieve 5k, enjoy the run and not focus on the time. So I am proud to say I ran my first 5k in 34 minutes and 30 seconds mostly in the rain!!

Feeling very pleased!!

Many thanks

Well done! That's a good pace, too. 👍

You might want to slow down a lot now, if that avg/max HR is to be believed. 💓

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to nowster]

Ah thank you.

Oh really, must say don’t really understand the pace!!

OK thank you for that!!

Enjoy your next run

[nowster Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

The shorter the time on the pace, the faster you're going. 5km in 30 mins translates to 6min/km.

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to nowster]

Ah that makes sense! Thank you for explaining!

Enjoy your next run

Well done you!

My first consolidation run was also 5k but yours was quicker 😂👍🎉

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Thank you very much!

Goal is to run 5k 3 times a week now.

Still can’t believe I am running and enjoying it so much!

[ChipsAndChocolate Graduate]

😉😉 so now I know what my goal is for this week 😉😉

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to ChipsAndChocolate]

Lol!!

Let me know how you get on!!

Enjoy your run

[ChipsAndChocolate Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Did it!! Just finished

35.5 mins so you’re still winning 🤣🤣

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to ChipsAndChocolate]

OMG just seen your other post!! You did amazing congratulations that is fantastic, well done you. So delighted for you.

Lol!! That is so impressive how you run in the evening after a full day, I would be to exhausted to do that. I noticed o my days of that it was better to go in the morning before doing shopping, cleaning etc!! I have not done an early morning run yet.

[ChipsAndChocolate Graduate in reply to 9weeks2Run]

Thank you! You’re too lovely

It’s weird I thought I would be better running in the morning coz I’m def a morning person, but I’m finding I actually prefer the evening. Don’t mind a wee Saturday late morning run though😁 once the coffee and pancakes have settled down 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to ChipsAndChocolate]

Ah thank you!

That is great that you enjoy running in the evening. Lol that sounds nice!!

Have a lovely rest of the evening and well done again on running 5k

Cool watch? Where did you get that from? It looks a lot less complicated than a Garmin!

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

Oh thanks, it is a Fitbit Versa (The first model) there is new version coming out.

[Elfe5 Graduate]

Woohoo! That’s great! 😄 A cracking pace too.

[9weeks2Run Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Ah thank you so much.

Enjoy your next run!
