It’s lovely to see you here, Evangel. The knee injury is hopefully behind you 🤞.

Hi Evangel, good luck on your return.
Saturday found me surprisingly considerably much closer to sub-30 with a 30:25 (watch time) at Strathclyde parkrun. Not quite sure how that happened. My logged running distance this month is 10km - including that run.

How's everyone doing?
I've updated the side-bar with current best 5k times.
I got a parkrun time of 36:16 today, my fastest 5k since April '21. I'm now targeting sub-33, to get my fastest 5k since April '15. I'll be very happy if I can get back to running 5k in around 31-32 minutes, like I used to regularly manage.

Well done GM great progress being made.
I don't run parkruns but have a 5k in 15 days time and then another 3-4 weeks later so will give me an idea of where I am.

Hello Evangel nice to see you.
All the best to building up to do 5km
Good going Dvorak and Gimme Medals I've dwindled since the summer did 5km today albeit with structured walk breaks just outside 40 minutes work to do

I'm sorry to mislead you all by saying I was getting back to running. I had a 2nd gentle run with lots of walk breaks, but that didn't go well. I had pain on the inside of the knee which did not ease, and persisted afterwards. I haven't run since, but I am hoping to try again - very cautiously - next week. By the time I try running again it will be about 12 weeks off running. We're going away for a short break near Rhyl (North Wales) on Monday, and I thought I might try it while we have a very flat prom to run on.

I've done it 
29:54 at parkrun this morning. I'm very pleased with that. Not quite a PB (29:14 back in 2013) but I've knocked over 6 minutes off since January so I'm hopeful that later this year I'll beat that 🤞
