ive been running for, ages, well outside since may, done a marathon and a half, and couldnt even DREAM of running 5 miles in45
Either, your in your 20s , or im fat, or both!!!
Well done, especially for going out in the rain
Whats your target time for FLM
Before you know it, a run like today's will be just a warmup for the real session. Keep at it!
well done
Me: I'm going out for a short run tonight.
Colleague: How far?
Me: About ten miles.
Colleague: Ten miles - short???
And indeed it is when you're doing 18 miles or more every Sunday!
Keep going Martin, and see you at FLM2003!
Shows it can be done
well done again.
Having run & given up loads of times over the years (I'm 29 in my mind but nowhere else!) I started again this year. It took me four runs to get up a nearby hill, now I deliberately pick that route sometimes because it's there & I like to remember how I've improved
Good luck
I too ran 5 miles on Sunday. It was the first time I had done this distance and did not stop once.
However it took me nearly 57 minutes....
