5K virtual race report

Did my 5K race today for the Autumn HM group. Was still plenty hot enough for me but managed to complete it in my 3rd fastest time, 30:38. Not run here since week 8 of C25K, that day I only just made it round the reservoir with my 5min warm up walk plus the 28 min run (it’s about 4K round) so it was great to realise how far I’ve come in less than a year. Think it would’ve been easier if I’d done a better job of staying hydrated at work today but lesson learned, and onwards and upwards from here.

Fabulous. Well done. What a lovely place to run too. I recetly went back to the scene of my very first 5k - it's great to see how we progress isn't it. I bet you felt whole lot more confident than you did last time too 😊

Oh yes definitely more confident. It’s a lovely place to run, and importantly is very flat unlike any of my routes from home 🙈🏃🏼‍♀️
