I had back surgery Nov 29 last year. Surgeon told me I'd never run again. This morning I ran a 29.35 at ParkRun. Never give up.
This is amazing
Right on.
5k race tommorow. I bit stressed because i didn't train for this year race. I was focusing on long distances in the last 6 month and found the race one week ago. I'm aiming for 22:30min
Good luck!
Cool thing about 5Ks is that you can do one now and another one 2 weeks later.
Still worth investing in a good 5K season though (I e. you do a lot more sprint intervals and threshold runs). I prefer long distances but spent the past 5 months or so solely focused on improving my 5K times and it's making me a much better runner, including for long distances.
I ended up achieving a new PR. I didn't expect that. My time was 20:37
Amazing. Well done!
Trying to get back in shape after about 10 years, 2 kids, and 80 pounds. Trying to get to 1.5 miles without walking, but I live on a hilly stretch of road.
Good luck!
Good 5.5km run with the doggo this morning..was actually about 6.5 I think, but I forgot to restart my watch at some point.... daaaah
