With parkrun tentatively retuning on 5th June in England, we'll have an event to test our pace at. I'm hoping to be sub 35 by then.

I forgot to post yesterday but I did 5K in 33.35 so that’s my target to beat :)

That's added to the box >>> SW :) I'm very hopeful that this is the year that we all make significant improvements in our 5k times. Even if we don't get to sub 30, we all are making inroads already. It's quite exciting :)

I’m starting my training for day 1 of Race to the King (23.4 miles of hills on the South Downs in June) on Monday. It has some speed work and lots of hills so I’m faintly hoping I’ll get quicker by accident!

Building up the miles will almost certainly lead to faster shorter runs, jw. Win-win :)

I shall probably be mostly walking in the race but I'm going to try and mix it up in training and see how I get on. Very excited that it looks like it's going ahead!

I can imagine. I’m more excited than I expected to be that parkrun is returning in June and yesterday heard that a group are working hard to get a new one ready to go just a 5 minute drive away from me. The current nearest is 15 minutes but is too busy so I travel 25 minutes to go to another one. This will be brilliant if it gets going. I can’t wait to find out what the route is as it sounds (from its name) like it will be along the river.
