Lunchtime run: Run like the wind

in #running6 years ago

Today I decided to just go fairly fast for around 5km. I found a loop that looked about long enough and set off. It's definitely cooler than the weekend, but just right for t-shirt and shorts. The tracks go up and down a bit, but the pace felt good.

Towards the end I was flagging and walked a little, but I was happy with my time. That's my best 5km this year. I was struggling to get under 30 minutes recently, but I seem to have cracked it.

My half marathon is in less than 3 weeks. I won't be able to maintain this pace for that long, but I just want to finish it.

Run free!

Good work, Steve… looks like you're on course!

Congrats man! Believe in yourself... I'm sure you will break that time many times more in the future!

This was excellent!!! You really improved your pace - congratulations for your best 5 km this year!

I wish I could start running! I guess I'd just start in small bursts?!

You can start with a mix of running and walking. There are training plans online to get started.

Yay! Go for it! Running has been very good to me :)

Cool
Your energy is contagious..
Well done my friend

What a good way to start the day friend, I hope you do very well in your half marathon i wish you the best of luck and continue with that positive energy! Regards...

Hi, Feel free to use the #steemactivities tag to get rewards for your running sessions ! See ya !

I've got limited tags to use. Good luck with yours

Thanks for your answer, have nice runs !

Thats a very dark and moody sky. If you got drenched, I guess you would have told us, or is is just a very dark picture?

It didn't rain on my run, but there was some rain after work. Not too bad

That looks like a big improvement @steevc. Well done! 😊

Important thing is to mix running and sprinting actually not to lose your muscle power because after all that power makes and extra meter when you need it :)

I love the simplicity and freedom of running. A pair of shoes and you are all set to explore new trails.
