I just ran 5k in 40 minutes!!!! Next week park run if I can sort childcare!!! I actually think I could have been quicker but there was an unexpected hill (new route) and my music stopped and I had to sort it out so my pace slowed!!! The speed and strength work has paid off. Thank you for all your support everyone!!! Really looking forward to the Park Run!

Well done. That's brilliant . My next goal is 5k in 50 mins!! . Might be able to get near that on road/ Tarmac paths but it kills my knees .

As long as we can improve even if slightly ,or even of not, if we are enjoying it ( maybe in retrospect, if not at the time) and we are improving our health, then running is brilliant, even if it isn't very fast (me, not you) .

Set out to enjoy it. It's supposed to be fun. I know you want to do well but you can work hard and enjoy it at the same time. It is allowed! LOL

Good luck!
