Week 26 of running a 5K until $ETH price hits $5K. It’s been half a year (🤯) since I started running a 5K a week, so I decided to go all out on this one. It didn’t feel great - my heart rate was between 165-171 bpm most of the time - but it’s crazy to look back and see the progress I’ve made. From around 7:30/mile pace to ~6:00/mile. 😮💨 Unfortunately, $ETH has gone from $3,670 to < $2500 in that time, so I may be doing this a while. 😆 https://farcaster.xyz/mathew.eth/0x5b122dee

18:43? Damn that's a cracking time.

I surprised myself, honestly. Sometimes I have it, and sometimes I don’t. I can’t quite put a finger on what it is exactly; probably just general energy/adrenaline levels.

I mean that's an insane time, congratulations. Think you can go faster? Were you always a runner? Or sporty? Don't know if I'll ever be able to make it around 5km that fast.

Idk how much faster I can go. I think my fastest 5K was in a 10K race and it was 18:38 (so pretty close to this time!). I’ve always played team sports (baseball, football, hockey), but never considered myself a distance runner. I ran the 400m and 200m in my one year of high school track and it wasn’t until I ran a half marathon in 2017 and trained for that, that I ran more than 2-3 miles at once. I actually don’t love running, but around the same I trained for the half, I began to trail run, and found that a lot more palatable (and dare I say, enjoyable?).

Ha, I’d run for that prize! In high school my PR for the 400m was 0:55. Not only was that 20 years ago, but that race was essentially an all out sprint. No way I could sustain that pace beyond that distance. I appreciate your support. It keeps me accountable, especially as life has gotten busier lately.
