Yes, those were from recent training runs. I've only run three 5k's. One about 4 weeks after I started running where the goal was to just finish and I came in somewhere right under 38 minutes. A second one, two months after that where I came in ~33:30, and a third that was a muddy trail course. I'm really excited to get an 'official' sub-30 5k.

Thanks for the kind words!

 

Are those times from training runs or from races?  Have you run a 5K race yet?  If not, do so ASAP.  You will have no problems running even faster yet....it's just different than a training run.  You can tell yourself you are running as hard as possible when you train, but you will almost always pull more out of yourself in a race.

 

Congrats on getting under that 30 minute mark either way!  It's a big deal! 

 

Now go race!
