A steady 5K

[Instructor57]

So Monday was my first run in 24 days and I stuck to 3.5K (although I felt I could have done 5K)

Today was a steady 5K and I was pleased to sneak it in just under 40 mins .

5k was never in doubt today as I was feeling good from my Monday run .

Just needed to double up on one part of the route due to flooding !

Again, I did not look at my watch , even now typing this I have no idea about the splits , but at the end of the day it's irelevant, as long as I can finish the run .

Infact it's probably more enjoyable not to think about them .

Today's playlist was a real blast from the past with 'Jethro tull' the first band I ever saw live in Manchester at what was then known as the 'Free trade hall'

So, an enjoyable run and good to be back into it !

And as always feel better for having done it 😁🏃

Fantastic! I'm pleased that you're still able to run a good steady 5k after 24 days off. I'm hoping that I will be able to run a 5k in the next few months.

Thank you ! And im sure you will .

I'm sure it's tough post covid .

I guess slow and steady is the answer 👍

Well done, Ian! Great to see you running for 5K, yes - a sub 40 minute one is always good.

More important is the fact that you feel better for getting out there and running 👏👏👏👏👍😊
