That first 5k is magic however long it takes, our first we started slow and went slower and slower but we’re so happy when we reached 5k even though it took 52 minutes, how long it takes doesn’t matter So be proud you have come so far

I’ve just checked out your time, that’s awesome for a first

Well done.

Your time is your time and you will no doubt improve on it as you run more.

Don't denigrate your effort by calling it a shoddy time............be proud.

Well done on your first 5k! No need to feel self conscious about your time. We all go at different speeds, but we're all runners. 🏅

That's not shoddy that's a sensible approach to running your first 5k 💪👏
