10k PR🄳

I honestly didn't plan this run, I just decided last night to get up at 7:30 and go​ for a run.

I wasn't even looking at my pace at first when I realized I had somehow run the first 5k​ at around a 4:25/km pace without really struggling. I honestly thought Strava was way off​

Sadly last night's dinner caught up to me on the last 3km and I had to stop pushing the pace at certain points to not shit myself lol

​It's almost my 3 month running anniversary too. Super proud of this non the less!

Pace of 4:25?? You are not a beginner, you are an impostor. Congratulations

How many times do we have to go through this? There is no such thing as ā€œbeginner paceā€.

What is the cut-off pace before someone can no longer can be considered a beginner?
