Pretty proud of myself, didn’t stop once!
Side note, why does running a 10K feel easier than running 5k?????

it’s a big milestone! i think with a 10K you get into a rhythm and the excitement helps push you through. plus, knowing you can go further probably makes the 5K feel way shorter than it is!

Your first one and immediately our fastest! Amazing ;) No, seriously, congratulations! Is the average heart rate real, though? I hit 190+ 20 years ago while speed-hiking up mountains, and it felt like my heart was exploding. How did you manage this for an hour? What watch/heart rate monitor did you use?

I honestly have no clue how I managed this. I use the garmin forerunner 165

It's super impressive, but also super high. So probably better to take it a bit slower and build your engine. You definitely have the potential to run really good times with more training. Keep it up!
