5K for the second time but the first registered correctly on Strava ( dont ask). OK it took exactly 42 mins but I am so chuffed. The Mrs did it in 38 but I am carrying 5 stone on her although she is 3 yrs older at 70, ha. So the plan is now to maintain the distance and try and work out how to increase the speed. My tobacco and work injured lungs take about 3K to open up and then its just a plod on. ( I did give up smoking 20 years ago butalso worked on a blast furnaace). I thought about starting the app again but running not jogging and increasing speed that way? Also as I get faster should I run the 5K or keep running the 42 mins?

Well done, I am struggling to run all the way too, I am keeping on week 1 until I can do all the runs properly, I did 5k in 43 mins alternating brisk run. I am younger but also have a 5 stone I ideally want to lose... Keep at it and you'll get better and faster.
