GimmeMedals Jan 2016 4:16pm, 2 Jan 2016 13,901 posts	0 GimmeMedals My 1st 5k of the year took 39:28. I'm going to park run regularly to get the time down A Lot!

GimmeMedals Jan 2016 4:40pm, 2 Jan 2016 13,905 posts	0 GimmeMedals Hi DQ. I've managed it before but not for a long time so I need to work back up (down) to it!

McGoohan Jan 2016 4:59pm, 2 Jan 2016 20,659 posts	0 McGoohan 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
DoricQuine Jan 2016 4:59pm, 2 Jan 2016 2,246 posts	0 DoricQuine 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!
