Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

My 1st 5k of the year took 39:28. I'm going to park run regularly to get the time down A Lot!

This has been my aim for a few years now - I'm not far off it so hopefully this year :)

Hi DQ. I've managed it before but not for a long time so I need to work back up (down) to it!

Good luck all.

I suppose en route to the 30:00 barrier, there is another preliminary milestone at 31:00 (in fact 31:04) when you will break 10:00/mile.

31:05 gives 10:00/mile. 31:04 gives 9:59 ;-)

Thanks LD :)

I have run sub 30 in training but not in an officail race. There are not very many 5k races up here apart from parkrun and that is very dependant on the weather! Running 2.5k into a 40 mph headwind doesn't make for an easy PB!
