1st Weekly Virtual 5K

[Chickien]

After graduating this week, I thought I’d have a go at the weekly virtual 5k to keep me motivated. I did 5k on Thursday to see just how long it would take me as I never managed to do it in 30 minutes and time was 34.34. Today’s time was 34.02 😃 Am very happy I shaved a little time off as it was very windy!

Wishing everyone a good weekend!

That’s wonderful & a cracking pace! 😄

Thank you! I still have to pinch myself that I’m able to run this far 😂

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to Chickien]

Ooo I know that ‘need to pinch myself’ feeling!! 😂

Wonderful view! It just needs an Ox and a Plough!

[Chickien Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

Ha ha, yes! Pass lots of horses and tractors instead.

[Maxi80 in reply to Chickien]

I’m a bit weird but I love tractors 😂

That's a very flat landscape. Lincolnshire?

Close - Norfolk 🙂

Great time Chickien, you’ll be completing a sub 30 min 5k in no time. Have you tried the Nike Run Club app, there are some 5k runs on that with Coach Bennett, you can listen to your own music too, just like C25k 👍

[Chickien Graduate in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thank you! I haven’t tried that app yet, the last couple of runs since graduating I have just repeated week 9 run 3 and carried on until my Fitbit said 5k, but I can already feel this might get a bit monotonous. I am going to download the app now and give it a go in the morning! Thanks for the tip 😊

Your welcome 😊, I used to do exactly the same as you when I graduated...5k runs using my Fitbit, but I’ve found the choice of runs on the Nike Run Club app really good, and I’ve used them to gradually increase distance too. Coach Bennett has a great way of making the run much more enjoyable.
