hubres 1 Report post Posted May 9, 2016 Hello, I just completed my first 5k run, right in the 30 minutes allocated time. I have to say it felt really good. To give you a little background, I'm 35 years old, and I have not done any real sports... for most of my life. I started somewhere in May, last year . Ever since then, I ran each week until I felt confident about moving on to the next one. For me it was mostly about getting in shape and safely reaching the 5k point. So about one year later, I am at the point that I can make the 5k run, without any breath issues or pains. And yeah, I did drop some weight as well which is nice. Now I will slowwwwly move towards the 10k program, hopefully I will return in a year with another success story. To conclude, here is a picture of the place I first ran the 5k challenge. Have fun! 1 Jacquie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
