Just ran my first 5k for a while, after 6 months AF and a recent short relapse (recovering alcoholic now 1 month AF again😬).
I could only manage about 2k a few weeks ago and it’s been an effort working my way back up. But here’s the thing; my last run was 4.6k and a bit of a struggle, but this morning I was on 5.3k when I checked so I stopped at 5.52 and it felt relatively comfortable compared to my previous runs this month.
I guess it just goes to show that you shouldn’t be discouraged by a bad run or two (or indeed anything else for that matter).
Happy running people!👍
