✨NEW 5K PB ✨

What was meant to be a steady 7.5K run turned into a 5K PB.
I unfortunately set off way too fast for my steady run but stuck with the pace and smashed out a new PB for my 5K.

Unfortunately, I bailed on the rest of my run but so glad I pushed through and smashed out the run that I did!

unlocked my furthest distance yet 🔥

week 3 on my 10k plan with @runna
6.5k progressive repeats long run

really enjoyed this one - managed to stick with the paces recommended to me and felt incredible!
think this was the first run where I wasn’t counting down the ks until it was over 😂

did struggle in the last 2k with my hip injury, so will definitely be taking a week or so to heal up properly before my next run!

✨NEW 5K PB UNLOCKED ✨

Went for a steady run this evening having not ran for two weeks and pulled this out of the bag - back with a bang!

Was absolutely not running to hit any targets, just wanted to get a couple of ks in but it felt really good so I kept going.

Down 54 seconds on my first ever 5k. Incredibly happy with this!

hot and sweaty, but at least the sky is pretty

struggled with my run this evening, legs just didn’t have anything left in them but managed the scheduled 3.5k as per my @runna plan

✨MY FIRST 5K✨

Today I completed my first EVER 5K.
To say I am proud of myself is a massive understatement!

When I was first diagnosed with M.E I never thought I would be able to do anything like this again, so I am incredibly proud of myself, and very very emotional 🥹

Now the aim is a sub-30 5K one day…
