5k – 35 mins

Well I might not have been updating this blog very frequently over the past months, but that doesn’t mean the quest for shedding some weight and improving my fitness has stopped. I’ve slowly been putting in the miles and have had some success at consistently bringing my personal best time down for 2k (10m 45s)and 3k (18m 48s). However I’ve always appreciated the fact that in running terms, these are quite short distances and I decided to have a go at 5k last night, and much to my pleasure I covered the distance in 35m flat. I was also pleased I didn’t have to drop the pace to a walk at any point. I’ll continue at this distance and see if I can shed some time off, 30 mins being the target, and hopefully at some point I’ll be able to push the distance further out to 10k.
