Looking at the weather forecast it’s going to be a hot day down here. πŸ˜…πŸ₯΅. So I’ll be taking this one slowly.

Hi all,

did my 5k earlier today. Concentrating on keeping the head up and enjoyig the nice stuff about running. And it whilst sailing along it was good - a PB was "on" at until the last K but for various reasons it got a bit wonky at the end. But never mind about that, 5k is done, the world looks nice. :-)

Now here comes the fail ... pom-pom emojis ... I don't know how to do them😧 !

(and can you add me to the list please ? thnx)

Kevin41Half Marathon

Done and completed 5k βœ… phew!! Not my quickest 5k ever but certainly not that slow either (for me anyway - I actually felt the need to go pretty quick what with it being a β€˜race’ and all that). I chose to run past the home of football (Roots Hall) as I’m really missing taking my son there on Saturdays to watch Southend inevitably lose.... I really quite enjoy an evening run but I must say this heat is a bigger challenge than the winds of February, what I wouldn’t give for them right now!!

Good luck everyone, I hope you all have a fantastic run!!! Looking forward to the 10k next β€˜race’ week

roseabiUltramarathon in reply to Kevin41

Phew! Well done!!

The point of this is really to see what you can do, but given the temperatures many of us are experiencing it seems more like an exercise in endurance this week πŸ˜„

Well done to those already completed πŸ‘πŸ†πŸ‘

I completed my 5k this morning. I started off well though then it started to get very hot (maybe I should have got up earlier!) plus my legs were still tired after doing 9 miles on Sunday! Therefore not quite as quick as hoped, but still 2nd fastest 5k according to Strava so not too bad all things considered πŸ˜€

(I also followed this by another 3 miles at easy pace to make up today’s distance!)

Hi, did my 5k today! It's normally so hot here and have run in 32 degrees recently so 26 today was wonderful. Finishing up by the sea makes me feel so lucky to live here, having only run in a city while taking part in an organised race. Looking forward to the 10k run and keeping my fingers crossed for a cooler day! :)

Hi I did my 5km this morning πŸ€Ήβ€β™€οΈ it was hot and my face was very red and in hindsight I should have made an effort to get up earlier and choose a flatter route, I was very relieved when my watch said 5 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ but it's done hooray 😁

Yay. I’ve finally got round to this after a very stressful and tiring week. Gave it my best shot and I’m sure it is a PB but I’ve forgotten what that currently is. Is there an easy way of finding out on Strava or Garmin? I’ve reset my Garmin watch and lost all my records a few days ago. 😒

Well done everyone on your 5k efforts this week.
