Another one done.

W9r2 in the bag. I went an extra 2 minutes to make it 4K. So I estimate my 5k to be around 40 minutes. I’m not too bothered about that tho. Was a good run. Cold at the start. Nice and dry. No wind. 🏃‍♂️ 👍

A 40 minute 5k would be great at this stage Baggieboy61; just running for the allotted time is the target for now. Picking up pace is a longer project for most people. You are doing brilliantly.

I can’t believe it. Don’t underestimate the part you have played in my getting to this point. It’s been such an experience. I thought my running days were over. Not so. Who knows where it will take me. 👍🏃‍♂️

I’m not really sure what a good pace is or isn’t. I have taken the advice and it is what it is. Slow and steady. I’m just happy to be at this point in one piece. Haha.

I ran 5k in 40 minutes once.....and never again, I expect you will get faster over time with consistent running.
