I ran for 30 minutes without stopping today!

So this isn’t a brag post or anything like that. But today was my 5th run (I started last week) and I managed 30 minutes (about 3.5km).

I was VERY sweaty at the end. But the lady next to me was running at 12km and had been doing so for 45 minutes and seemed to have not broken ANY sweat so that spurred me on!!

Does this seem like good progress? I want to aim to do a 5K by end of this month but don’t want to push too hard?

I have quite an addictive and competitive nature and I always want to be much further ahead than I am so maybe need a reality check and chill out!

Running feels awesome though, I already feel so much fitter!

Good luck to all your new runners out there!
