Woo! That's awesome (as was climbing that mountain!) I haven't really decided if I want to really push myself to run a 5k sometime or not. I've always been more of a hiker than a runner, but it seems like a 5k is just one of those good things to do sometime.

@rankinsect Thanks! Yay for hiking!

If you want to conquer a 5 km, I do recommend the Couch to 5K training program.

I started running 10 weeks ago with an exhausting 500 metre gasp.

A few days later I started the C25K program, but took 2 weeks off early on due to a sore hip from a mega-exercising day.

Since then, I've been doing 5k parkruns on Saturdays (walking/running) and C25K two days during the week, as well as quite a bit of walking.

C25K works! It helped me gradually build up my endurance and not overdo things.

You're right, 5km is a great thing to have achieved!
