alehouse 26 Sep 8:23pm, 26 Sep 2024 348 posts	0 alehouse Thanks, @NZD ! Very conscious of that! @Rosehip , do you always run alone; so much easier with others, although these days it is nearly always solo.

NZD 27 Sep 7:38pm, 27 Sep 2024 141 posts	0 NZD @Rosehip plenty of runners at parkrun finishing in 40 minutes plus (8 min/km). Do you have a local parkrun close by. Worth a try?
