    26.40 is currently my PB for a 5k - but that took some time to build up to! :drinker:

    When I ran my 1st 5k back in August-13 it took me 50mins, my current PB is 30:21 so looking to break 30mins in the next few weeks I hope. My longest run to date is 18.6miles (30k) done for charity and to celebrate 1 year of my new lifestyle. My average long run is around 8-9miles. I do the Park Runs most Saturdays, am signed up for a number of 10ks and a couple of half marathons so far this year. I enjoy the real cardio effort involved in the 5k but also love plodding along at my own pace and the mental challenge of pushing on abit further of the longer distances. I just love running LOL.

    I have been training for about 8 months so I only have to go by my training runs which my fastest one was 27:28, but I just completed my first offical 5km run yesterday and did it in 26:21, which was a personal best for me.

    My other half runs half marathons so, to give me something to do rather than just standing around while he completes these I decided I would complete a couple of 5ks and hopefully work up to the 10ks.

    I ran my first 5k last Sunday, in the wind, rain, sleet and snow (got to love Scotland!) and completed it in 34 mins. I'd like to get this down to below 30mins & considering Park Run to help with that :)
  • I am going to be in my first 5k this June and very excited about it. I downloaded the couch to 5k app and will start training this week (if weather permits!) My girlfriend and I signed up for the Color me Rad!
  • Good luck - Couch to 5k app is great, eases you in nicely :)
