When I did c25K I looked at week 1 and thought it was too easy so started at week 2.
Not long into my first run I found that I couldn't actually run for 60 seconds without feeling like I was going to die so had to eat humble pie and go back to day 1.
Some people are posting very impressive times on here. Don't try to keep up with them, swim in your own lane. (scuse the mixed metaphor)
Personally, I think that anyone who is not a serious runner and can run 5k in any timeframe is doing alright. I also think a sub 30 minute time is pretty impressive too whereas some are posting closer to 20 mins. Good for them and good for you for getting out there and running at all.
This is not a competition thread and no one else is trying to make it one. Sometimes it's easy for us to do that to ourselves though and make ourselves feel inadequate. The way I'm reading it it's about us collectively celebrating our achievements, whatever that may mean.
EDIT: I should add though, that it's not competition that I find helpful with Strava particularly, just that it serves as a public record of effort and progression, and keeping up with the Jones's helps me.
My PBs have been set on those (very rare!) days when it happens to feel "right" from the start of a run to the end. By the same token, some other days (like this morning) feel like running through treacle - and on those occasions I wouldn't even try to push myself, because I know my body is telling me it's not a good idea.

I don’t enjoy running at PB pace now.
I don’t think I’ll get a PB this year unless I try for the half distance and it’ll be a PB by default.
Staying injury free will be my biggest challenge this year. Having already lost two weeks I ran again last week (steadily) and for lesser distances and I don’t feel right again.
BUT, I found my foam roller so will look forward to putting that to good use tonight.

is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
