Yep, I built up to 5k right before the pandemic then stopped back when we had no damn idea how it all spread.
Just turned 50 and I built up to doing 5k every other day and I've been doing that consistently now for over 2 months.
Its gotten easier, I'm dragging ass in patches now rather than most of the second half.
Doubt I'm going to start marathoning, I'm going to try to stick to 5k for life more or less. I know eventually I'll want to push up to 8k to 10k occasionally to get my 5k times up. But generally I don't want much more than a 30 minute per day commitment.
And I started in the middle of winter in Seattle, so I've already run through all the wet and cold and windy. Could have used my scuba diving gear a few times...
- jahnu 5y agoHaha that feeling of running in awful weather and knowing, "well it can't get worse!" :) And honestly the marathons and even half marathons are not important, imo. Getting over 10k regularly was very nice though. It's a different mental state at those distances.
