I wasn’t actually attempting the elusive 5k in 30 mins today but....am getting closer. One more run then might have a go Sunday morning when crossing the roads should be kind, probably should not put the pressure on but can’t help it when so close!

Take it nice and easy and you’ll do it. Don’t worry if it takes a while. I was the same as you. So close to 5k after 30 mins. Still took a while to hit that magical mark. Now I do it twice a week and I’m nearly up to 10K on my weekend run. You’ll do it no bother as you’re very close now.

Thank you, may I ask, those two 5k runs you are now doing a week, are they much easier to you now? I am enjoying it of course and when I hit my comfort zone I love the feeling of running fast, I am hoping to get fit enough that the whole 5k feels like that not just half of it? Thanks!

I would say yes normally. However Thursdays 5k was very hard indeed.
