After having quite a hard time starting up running. Multiple injuries from my weak ankles and numerous visits to a physiotherapist later. I've finally achieved my first big goal! 🎉

Congrats, that's quite a jump from the previous best! I'm also gunning for a sub-25min time. Last week 25:18 and yesterday 25:11. So close yet so far.

That's so close! You can definitely do it; just believe in yourself <3 Try not to put as much pressure on yourself! Maybe go for some slower, longer runs, or try some other type of training. That always helped me! I wasn't even really expecting to break my PR today and only really went for it when I noticed how well everything was going xD
