I thought I'd post this as I was extremely happy with my run last night.

November last year I was 212lbs (I'm 5ft 7), I was on high blood pressure medicine. I could just about run a mile but it killed me.

I started training for a half marathon a few months ago and last night I ran my first Sub 20 minute 5km.

I did 5km in 19:03 with an average of 6:08 min/mile

Next goal!! 5 Minute Mile and half marathon in 1h:40min

That's twice as fast as I run (38:03 5k 2 weeks ago). Good luck in your half marathon! I just signed up for my first 8k!

Thanks everyone I would have never had believed it this time last year but it seems I'm not that bad at running.

I saw a quote the other day which I love. The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle.

I think this has now become my personal mantra

Glad you found your stride! I hope to one day get a sub thirty minute 5k! Also, I'm training for a 1/2 in October. I'll be happy to finish with no walk breaks
