Project Joker threshold run today...I actually ran one mile at sub 10 min pace ( 9.58). Now I just need to get 2.1 additional miles faster than that! 😱

A steady start but faster last mile got me another SB today and nearer that elusive 30 minutes.
33:49, and 40 seconds faster than last week. It nearly finished me off though - I had to work hard for it πŸ˜†

Mind if I join you? Got to get back to running 5k first. Been gradually building up my running. Managed an out and back 2 mile jog this morning. The first 1.5 miles are essentially downhill/flat(ish), only in the last half mile do I hit any significant hill. Gives plenty of time for the heart and lungs to get used to it. First mile was -51ft elevation and second (unsurprisingly) 51ft. Good luck everyone else with their efforts.
