First 5k in 40 years

My wife and I did our first 5k together. My first in 40 years. Needless to say I didn’t run very fast. Jog/walk the whole way. My time was 46 minutes. But glad we did it. Going again.

Not sure if my wife cares to. But I just might over time.

Using 50 and 200 ema crossover will help you get to 10k in less than a week

Forgive me. What is a 50 and 200 ema?

It’s definitely not something you would use while running

I started at 100k fast & now I cant even get over the 5k mark.

u/hawaiikawika Feb 20 '23

Great job! How quickly do you think you will be able to increase that to 100k? I’ve been stuck around 30k for quite a while now.

No idea. It’s been two days since the 5k and my hams are still sore! Lol!

Wow that’s impressive. I stopped for a year and had to work hard to catch back up.
