Was really up for a good run this evening, told myself I was going to go for a 5k no matter what and I did it! I ran to the stamina podcast, and a bit extra as it took 39 minutes but I don't care, sooo happy and pleased to have achieved the 5k milestone!

Well done - this is my aim too. I have mapped it out (it looks scary!) but I will just take it slowly. Did you slow right down, or are you fit enough that you just ran anyway? :D

I just kept at the pace of the stamina podcast (pretty much) so didn't slow down as such... I don't run particularly quickly anyway though! I have a new app on my phone that tracks my time per km and I ran slower as each km passed, only by a few seconds though! My aim will be to get the 5k under 30 mins but for now I'm happy just to have done it!
