lin50 May 2023 7:10pm, 6 May 2023 4,353 posts	0 lin50 GimmeMedals fantastic running! You’ve been getting faster and faster over the last few months and training consistently, so sub 30 is very well deserved (and will hopefully inspire the rest of us).

GeneHunt59 Jun 2023 9:08pm, 4 Jun 2023 3,797 posts	0 GeneHunt59 Well done GM. I managed a gentle jog round a very flat parkrun on Saturday, without stopping or walking in 36:11. Happy with that as I was struggling to get round in under 50 minutes until recently. Not sure I will ever trouble sub 30 again, but we'll see.

Dvorak Jun 2023 9:22pm, 4 Jun 2023 26,957 posts	0 Dvorak Great progress, Gene. Now you're picking up the training again, could be ... 30:55 official yesterday (30:42 watch). On a rolling course. Second fastest since the restart.
lin50 Jun 2023 9:25pm, 4 Jun 2023 4,461 posts	0 lin50 Now that my marathon is done I’m going to concentrate on 5k & 10k. I’ll probably do Project Joker again as that really helps.

GimmeMedals Jun 2023 7:15am, 5 Jun 2023 25,381 posts	0 GimmeMedals PJ does seem to be effective, Lin. Good luck with doing it.
Alice the Camel Jun 2023 11:54am, 5 Jun 2023 14,149 posts	0 Alice the Camel I’d forgotten about this thread until it popped up yesterday. I’d also forgotten that I’d submitted a “best time” of 38:53 back in November. I ran parkrun last Saturday in 36:43 and will now be chipping away at that in the hope of getting nearer to 30 minutes.
