Week 4 of Running: I Barely Managed to Finish 5km

I had barely exercised before, but I started running three times a week four weeks ago. At first, even 2km was tough, but today I ran 5km without stopping.

My pace is still slow, but it's fun to see my times gradually improve. My next goal is 10km by October.

Going from 2 km to 5 km in 4 weeks is really fast, isn’t it? People usually plan for 8 weeks. But I think what matters more than speed is that you stuck to three times a week without missing it. Last year, I was just running hard with a 10 km goal and got shin pain, so I had to rest for 3 weeks... Take it slow, seriously.

Congrats, congrats—the first 5km is the hardest; after that, it’s just a matter of time.
