I did but really appreciate the thought, very generous. And thank you @Airhead for the short-run encouragement, it's taken me a few days to process. I realise I've been thinking that if I'm unable to run 5k I'm not a 'proper' runner but you're right, 3k a day is 3k more a day that I was doing this time last year and I think it's a practice I could keep up too. Really appreciate that 'lightbulb' moment. Even if I don't make the 5k I'd be happy with that practice.

You run, therefore you are.

I've been doing it every morning but it's taken some work to stay injury free. Stretching properly or using a percussion massager is absolutely necessary for me.
As far as running 5k. I managed a 10k charity run having run daily 3k's only, just slowed my runs for a couple of weeks and broke it down into 3k sections.
Short distance means you can focus on your gait and posture too.
1500m is a classic race distance :)

Did you sort some shoes out? If not, I might be able to help, depending on what size you are.
