Great job on the 5k I always used to say that I would like to build up the endurance to finish a half marathon one day.

I know getting started is definitely half the battle, I worked in a gym and the January new year new me’s did really annoy me back then but it made my work day hell

I hope I keep this up and can eventually get to a half marathon and hopefully one day even a marathon. They’ve been dreams for a long time but I have never done much to work towards them until now.

Congrats on your non-stop 5 km run. I never managed to do that distance non-stop, and I never got my time below about 45 mins. Still felt a sense of personal achievement to have done it though.

Thank you! I’m just glad I could do it, I had some time off with a sore knee so it was my first run in almost 2 weeks.

I get you may not be prepared for one right now and want to build yourself back up a bit first but one thing I wish I had known earlier is how acceptable it is to stop during the race! Had I known that I would have booked some 5km’s or fun runs years ago.

It’s a great achievement just getting out there and trying to be honest Lisna, the hard work is motivating yourself during your day to day life. Regardless of it being intervals or a continuous run .
