I finally did it!

Started end of May 😬 working from home, home schooling and looking after a one year old meant long gaps between some runs, especially towards the end (don’t recommend it but I couldn’t face starting again from earlier weeks). BUT I have done it.

I was originally hoping to make that elusive 5k in 30 mins but gave up trying a couple of months ago when my runs were few and far between, wish I had taken more notice of pace today as I did 4.7km in the 30 mins, sure I could have upped my pace a bit, something to aim for though.

Lovely supportive site this, anyone just starting out, run one week one was the most difficult one for me!

Love from a GRADUATE X

You must! We worked too hard not to. My biggest gap was before starting week 8, 28 minute run, I really should have built up to that again but mentally I just couldn’t go backwards, that one was hard but the next 28 minute one was much easier. Go out tomorrow if you can πŸ‘ xx
