Knowing you can do something because you have done it before does not make doing it again any easier.

Ran 5km in 37:11, and 5.8km in 44:08.

Again ran the whole 5km with only a few seconds break at a red traffic light.

True!

First time: Yes! I broke my record!
2nd to 9th attempt: disappointments.

😅

@youronlyone I'm not disappointed at all! I'm happy I could do it again, but damn if it wasn't just as difficult as last time 😅 I was kinda hoping for it to become at least a little bit easier.

@blindcoder 😁 Yeah, it means our efforts and research, are working. And we should just keeps going and going.

Are you aiming for 30min 5k / sub1 10k (or equivalent in miles)? Or, just pushing for it for now?

@youronlyone My primary goal is keeping my calorie deficit up. I've lost 15 kg in almost 2 years and I'm going for another 10, then I'll be below 100 kg (which I realize is just a psychological barrier).

My secondary goal is to be able to run for 1 hour without a break or recovery walk in between. 40 minutes is where I'm at right now, a year ago it wasn't even 5 minutes.

@blindcoder Wow! Amazing!

Keep it up and stay healthy!

Had a similar goal when I started, weight and doing it without walk breaks.

Sadly, I got sick, water was found in my left lung which was causing high fevers. Ended up bed ridden for months, then more months for additional rest.

To this day, I'm still on recovery running. My goals changed, I have to expand my lungs again and recover the muscles I've lost.

Though, one good thing, I didn't gain much weight as what usually happens.

My mistake was, I don't change clothes after a run. I just rest somewhere, wipe my back, and let the shirt dry on me. 🤦🏽‍♂️😅
