▲ 110 r/runna
First 5k
39 years old, a few weeks from my 40th birthday. Not particularly in shape and I’ve never run before. I did the complete beginner plan and at the start I thought there was NO WAY I would be at a 5k in 12 weeks. I did it and if there’s anyone else doubting they can do it, if I can, I promise you can. It was hard, and rewarding and now I have a new habit for the rest of my life or until I injure myself into retirement. Subscribing to Runna was an easy decision. I’m really thankful that I found this app.
My PB time for a 5k is 36 mins. I’m still in shock. Even this morning while doing the warmup stretch, I was doubting myself.
