5k - Finally

[Solor]

A couple of months after completing the programme, I've finally achieved 5k. On holiday in Waterford, the others had gone cycling, which is not for me. Found the fabulous Clonea Beach near Dungarven and started running on the sand. Exceeded my own expectations and I'm really chuffed 😎

Congratulations! And what a lovely way to do it too, a truly memorable run.

Thanks 😊

Congratulations Solor on completing your first 5k on the beach near Dungarven, if you can run 45.20 on sand I am sure you will be able to run a sub 40 minute 5K on a road or track surface

[Solor Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Ooh what a delicious thought! The sand was firm though!?!

[Rennur Graduate]

Fantastic. Al is right. You will be flying over those roads now! First 5K is almost as good a feeling as graduating C25K, except that now you have graduated the actual "5k" part as well! Parkrun next ??

[Solor Graduate in reply to Rennur]

Thanks for your support. I’m still a bit shy of Park runs. I’m not sure how challenging my home one is.

[Rennur Graduate in reply to Solor]

You will be faster than me. Sometimes my pacer is the tail walker!!

[Vespina Graduate]

Congratulations on your 5k. On sand too! Very impressive. What a lovely location to achieve that milestone (or 3.1 milestone 😂).

[Solor Graduate in reply to Vespina]
