Breaking 30 minutes for 5k is the first time goal of many beginning runners. Here, new runner Alexis D'Souza Cyr tries to dip under the mark in her first-ever 5k time trial. Follow along as she battles through the kilometres, and comments on her attempt.
Alexis co-hosts Marathon Handbook's newest podcast, For Better or for Worse, with her husband Alex Cyr, who paces her here. In this week's episode, they discuss Alexis' time trial in more depth, what she did to achieve her goal, and which new running goal she's set for the fall.
