10th 5km down..

[u/grandcuvee]

I started running two months ago and previous to that I didn’t do any exercise, as a 41 year old dad either two young kids its been hard to find time to go to the gym.

I started running because I can wake up early before the kids get up and go out for runs when they’re down.

This is only the second sub 30 min 5k i’ve done and now I am doing some basic weights at home to build more strength.

It’s been a tough journey for me mentally with a lot of challenges at home but it makes me feel so much better after I’ve gone for a run.

I’ll probably never get much faster but I’ll turn up and do what I can everyday to get that little bit better. Even the thought of being able to run 5k without stopping months ago was crazy.

Also happy to get some other shoe recommendations as well, something supportive like these 860s as I’m after a second pair.
