    I thought I’d update you all. Tonight I just completed week 7 run 3 of couch to 5 k (which is 5 min walk, 25 mins running and 5 min cool down walk. This was my 4th 25 min run in a row. Um avg. about 7.2mins/km....I’ve also completed to park runs (organised 5k events but I’m not able to run non stop yet. First attempt was 36 mins second attempt 34mins and Saturday will be my 3rd attempt (I’m going for every other week)

    I’m also down to about 65.7kg (but my willpower is massively flagging right now in terms of food/ mad cravings for anything naughty :( )

    The runger is real! :laugh:

    Just keep working at it and you will gradually improve. I accepted a long time ago that there will always people faster than me and there will almost always be people slower than me. Our tri sprint trainer gives an award each week to the final finisher and I'm disappointed that I have not earned it!
