I just went to the gym and ran my first 5K in.... forever! I *did* run 5K - once - when I was a student, and if memory serves, I walked some of that (and "when I was a student" would mean in the mid-90s). So my time (35 mins) may not be the greatest, but I RAN 5 KILOMETRES!!! And didn't faint...
I was also able to change the pace up and down and do some 3 minute "faster intervals" and some good inclines here and there. And I still did my strength exercises after.
Am I bragging? Yes, no doubt about it, but this is pretty big for me.
Will I go back and run another 5K tomorrow. Probably not, but deffo next week with a very keen eye to shaving time of those 35 mins as well.
