An effort run this morning gave me a 5km time of 33:57, quickest for a long time. It was hard work! Starting to think sub 30 might just be possible. |

Thanks for the welcome guys! GM could you kindly add my 5k time from a month ago to the sidebar please:- 35:33. Been struggling ever since, just starting to get some fitness back. Would love to do a time trial sometime. I've never done a mile time trial. Back in school I set off too fast and didn't even finish my one attempt, and never given it another go in the subsequent 48 years! |

Next time trial date listed is on the 22nd: 2 miles fetcheveryone.com/races/virtual-2-miler-5448910 This date as it is the day RTSists would run over two miles. (Not of course that you need to tie it into anything - do the distance you want when you want Just get into the headspace and give it a go! What about 1K to start? Just don't injure yourself )

That's an improvement of a minute, LG - great progress in a short time. You've been added to the list, GH Have you had a go at Project Joker? It's worth a look if you are wanting to improve your 5k time. 3 sessions a week for 10 weeks with sensible paces for the 3 sessions. fetcheveryone.com/joker |

Thanks GM. Will adapt slightly as I would like to get back to 4 days a week, but definitely will ease off, as know I have over-trained in the past.

I actually did a 30.04 on the 3rd April but forgot to report it on here so the 30.59 will be my benchmark
