ok, it hurt. That last km almost did me in. But I didn't have any choice - I wasn't far from home and I was either going to have to run it or walk it, so I just kept on plodding along.
I was comfortable for around the first 30 minutes, which is what I would have run today if I had followed the podcast. Now I know I can run 5km. It might have been hard but if I think back to 9 weeks ago, it was almost easier than I found those 60 second runs at that point.
I'll go back to following the podcast for the last two runs, then I'll go on to one hour runner. I feel like I'd rather work on going a bit faster and going a bit further in the 30 minute runs.
pace - 8min/km, 5.06km, total time taken 40min30s
Wow, great job! I just finished week 3 and this post is so motivating. W3d3 was pretty hard for me. 5k in 40 minutes is awesome!
