5k in under 30 mins !!

[Jamesrunsforlife]

Hi everyone hope you are all doing ok ? I haven’t been on here for a while as work/family life takes over but in a good way 😊….anyway I’ve reached a milestone this morning and have done 5k in 29:01 which was hard but I have prepared for it in the past few months …I have also done 10k once and 11k once so my training has really paid off .

New and old runners alike keep at it and remember YOU can do it ! When I started I couldn’t run for more than 30 seconds so it can be done ..anyway nice to catch up and make it a great day 🎃😊😀💪

Excellent run. Well under 30 minutes. Fantastic buzz isn't it? Did you do it within a Parkrun, or was it a solo effort?

[Jamesrunsforlife Graduate in reply to RollingPea]

Solo effort …I started strongly that’s the key I think after a proper warm up ⭐️

[RollingPea Graduate]

I am very very impressed! I don’t think I could do such a demanding run by myself. My way is to keep sight of faster runners in the Parkrun pack. They pull me along to a sub-30 5K time. You are doing really brilliantly. Keep on 🏃
