Hey Fellow Runners,
Looking for a little advice is possible?
A few months back got diagnosed with underactive thyroid and was ridiculously tired and fatigued, not to mention pilling on the weight.
I have started the gym and I could only run 2.4k before I was ready to pass out. I was putting it down to breathing and instantly sweat like a...
Anyway, I went last night and thought I would push myself to try and do 5k.
Couldn't believe I actually did run it albeit on a treadmill and my time was shocking 37 minutes.
My question is, should I know keep pushing over 5k. Should I try to run 5k in a better time, or should I focus on distance.
Completely appreciate that 5k is not alot for most, but I'm delighted I pushed myself.
My pace on the treadmill was 7.16? Yet on my fitbit versa it says 5.16mph?
Obviously as you can tell by post, I have absolutely no idea about running, other than I want to become better at it and fitter!
Thanks for any advice you can share
