After having quite a hard time starting up running. Multiple injuries from my weak ankles and numerous visits to a physiotherapist later. I’ve finally achieved my first big goal! 🎉
Ah nice! That’s quite speedy. I never really check my 5K, but apparently my fastest is at 25:03, which slightly annoys me now haha. That record is from a few months ago, but since then I’ve only focussed on 10K, half marathon, or double miles. I guess you’ve inspired me to go for a new 5K record
Goodluck!!! I guess my next one is breaking that 10K barrier
Congrats, that’s quite a jump from the previous best! I’m also gunning for a sub-25min time. Last week 25:18 and yesterday 25:11. So close yet so far.
That’s so close! You can definitely do it; just believe in yourself <3 Try not to put as much pressure on yourself! Maybe go for some slower, longer runs, or try some other type of training. That always helped me! I wasn’t even really expecting to break my PR today and only really went for it when I noticed how well everything was going xD
Great job! Have you changed anything after your injuries in order to reach this goal?
Great job! Please don’t get discouraged if you regress some. After every milestone there’s a high possibility of regression, maybe you won’t be able to reach 5k on your next run, or not as fast and that’s okay, it’s a very slow slow progress but it’s progress nonetheless
Thank you! To be honest I’m already perplexed that I somehow did this. Everything just felt good today, I won’t be surprised if I am a little slower next time :P
Holy cow! 3 minutes is a massive drop. That’s incredible!
Thank you <3 I really surprised myself!
What app is that?
Garmin Connect. For Garmin watches
I just found that screen and don’t get something: my 5K PB on there is about 30 seconds faster than my predicted race time. Does it assume it was a fluke or something?

Maybe by a little bit but, I very much felt like I was dying at the end xD
congrats very well done!
Nice! Awesome milestone to pass!
Great job! Keep it up! What’s your next goal?
Nice! I’m sitting just under 40 minutes because I keep getting stitch and having to walk. I reckon I could push it and get pretty close to 30 if I didn’t get stitch.
That last 5 minutes from 30 down to 25 must be a mission.
Congrats!
