Did my 8km incl 4 x 1km at effort.

Still running 30 sec slower per km at same effort and not really sure why I am not improving.

What else is going on in your life ITG?
If I've learnt anything over the last couple of years it is that non exercise related activities/issues can have an much as an effect on performance as training (or lack of it).

I’ve run. I’m finding it a struggle at the moment, also because of other things. My only motivation is to keep up with the 700 mile target.

Not really sure, TeeBee. I last ran a marathon in 2021 (peebee!), in 2022, ran a 32km trail run, and in May 2023 injured my back so was out all summer. I started building up distance again in the Fall include a few half-marathon training runs and as of January have been following my marathon training plan, albeit lacking in gusto. I really think it might just be hormones fluctuating/declining. I'm about 2kg over my 2021 weight so I don't think it is that. But I am not really doing gym/weight training because it is SOOO boring. In 2020, I had to give up crossfit because Covid and then the gym shut. At that stage, it was probably the only time in my life that I could deadlift more than my own bodyweight (which is not admittedly very much).
