Gobi Jan 2019 8:31am, 9 Jan 2019 65,887 posts	0 Gobi Reps on a 0.64 mile loop last night 3.34 3.28 3.26 3.22 3.22 3.18 off 90 secs Sub 17 May be in there!!
Brunski Jan 2019 1:11pm, 9 Jan 2019 1,273 posts	0 Brunski Good work Gobi, definitely look around there! I might have a last bash at a quick parkrun on Saturday before I get back to more of a marathon focus, I ran 16:44 (a 5k PB) at my local parkrun at the end of November off marathon training (couple of weeks before Valencia), and have had a few sub 18s running parkruns over the festive period, so think I've been ticking along ok.
Gobi Jan 2019 1:47pm, 9 Jan 2019 65,888 posts	0 Gobi Ran 17.55 at the weekend on a not fast course, need to lose a little more weight but maybe March/April it may be on
Brunski Jan 2019 1:55pm, 9 Jan 2019 1,274 posts	0 Brunski I'm a good 4-5 pounds heavier than I was at the end of November but hoping part of that is muscle and won't matter as much over 55k as it does over the longer stuff!
Brunski Jan 2019 1:56pm, 9 Jan 2019 1,275 posts	0 Brunski 5k rather than 55 😂
J2R Jan 2019 2:03pm, 9 Jan 2019 1,740 posts	0 J2R Brunski, I think you'll find a lot of people put on a few pounds of muscle over the Christmas / New Year period.
Brunski Jan 2019 2:11pm, 9 Jan 2019 1,276 posts	0 Brunski Yeah strange that J2R, most of the 'muscle' appears to be around my belly 😂😂
J2R Jan 2019 2:31pm, 9 Jan 2019 1,741 posts	0 J2R Brunski, that'll be because your belly has been doing the most work.
Windsor Wool Jan 2019 2:34pm, 9 Jan 2019 3,858 posts	0 Windsor Wool ugh, I guess I'll have to see if I can magic another one of these (sub 18 5k that is, not a belly!) out of thin air to try and get a slot in our 12-stage team. It could be a real stretch for me though this time. Might have to try and find the perfect parkrun course on a good day and wear the shoes!
