lin50 May 2021 8:39pm, 11 May 2021 359 posts	0 lin50 Project Joker final 5k run tonight. Benchmark run at the beginning of PJ was 33.14. Tonight’s 5k on the same route....31.53. I’m really happy with that...still quite a way to go to get sub 30, but definitely going in the right direction.

Evangel May 2021 5:26pm, 12 May 2021 3,346 posts	0 Evangel Lin, that's a great leap forward - 1:21 really is good. You'll get to 30 min. little by little, perhaps 20 or 30 seconds per month, but keep working on tempo runs, intervals & strides etc. as well as easy-paced running.

Ness May 2021 10:44am, 22 May 2021 15,308 posts	0 Ness Well done, lin50 that’s a great improvement. I started Project Joker on March 27th. My benchmark run was 30:30. I was planning on doing a parkrun to finish my PJ attempt on June 5th. The restart has, of course, been postponed but I will do a retest on that date and see how I get on. Hopefully it’ll be sub 30.
