Two and Half Months ago, I didn't think running for more than two minutes was possible, last week, I did two 5k runs around Copenhagen.
I'm so proud of myself, so I need to share! I finished week 6 last week (W6R3 is the purple run around the lakes to the North of this image). I was on holiday in Copenhagen, and had my running shoes with me, and was determined to go out. This was, when warm-up/cool-down is included the first time my distance clocked over 5km, which felt like a truly incredible achievement.
The day after, I did a (long) coffee run as a recovery walk (orange). Then on my last day I did almost 5.5km with 10min intervals- leading to more than 30mins running- with sightseeing breaks in between (red). Looking back, I'm so excited with how far I've come. It's still hard, and I've lots to learn, but I'm definitely making progress, and most surprisingly, enjoying myself.
I've found a new hobby! I promised myself I'd treat myself to a new pair of shoes once I hit 5k, and when I found a shop online that was owned by a Danish company it felt like it was meant to be...
Week 7 next. Onwards.
