5k I’m so close! I’m coming for you! BOOM! Let’s get it 🎉

Guys so yesterday as per recommendation of Instructor57 , UnfitNoMore and nowster i took day off, and today back in that grind I did some intervals I did again as last week triple 7s with Nike Run Club but this time rather than walk I jogged the warm up interval and I run faster on 3 7mins intervals too so I ran almost 1km further than last week and that took me to over 4K. I’m now so close, I recon 2 maybe 3 weeks till I hit the first 5K in one continuous run. I’m planning to join redways runners running club here in Milton Keynes once I get to 5k! I so can’t wait to get there!

If you're interested, there is a Milton Keynes parkrun. It seems to attract about 500 per week. Many of them seem to be affiliated to Redway Runners.

Wow! Yes definitely! Thank you for the link! I’ll try to make it in like 2 or 3 weeks cause this week I already have different plans plus today’s run was quite hard for me so I need to recover a bit 😅

Well done for having your rest day 👍You are progressing well !

Which week of the NRC plan are you on ?

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

I’m not doing any plan atm I’m just choosing runs based on my goal so for example if I did 3k in about 20mins I’ll try to go for 3.3k or 25mins run next week and then next few runs I make a little bit easier and so far I see definitely progress looking at my graphs of days I ran. If I can’t meet new goal I take day or 2 off and I try that goal again. Im am trying to reach 5K in 2 or 3 weeks. And then work on improving my time and on reaching longer distance. 10K would be nice

MK is a great place for runners with their red ways and the massive amount of green spaces. If you drive , there is a place called Salcey Woods Newport Pagnal way that have running trails . You are very lucky as you also have two very good running shops and I believe they have running clubs. Happy running

Yes MK is awesome for running, and the redway runners is a running club here so ya it’s pretty cool for sure
