I haven’t ran in 9 days due to slightly sore knees, I had a 5km booked for today and almost decided not to go but my friend talked me in to going. Finished with a time of 36:36 which is far from amazing to some, going the full distance without stopping was amazing for me so I’m over the moon
Thanks for encouraging me FETCHER, but I'm a long way from entering a race right now. Still, you've motivated me to start my easy-to-follow training prog again: jogging circuits round a local park. (Although "circuits" is perhaps misleading: it's more like jog half a circuit, collapse on the grass, limp round to where I started.)

Congrats on your non-stop 5 km run. I never managed to do that distance non-stop, and I never got my time below about 45 mins. Still felt a sense of personal achievement to have done it though.

Wow! That sounds even worse than I thought. It's never happened to me much, but it's such a weird feeling when you are being pushed around by something you can't see.
