Just remembered this thread
How's everyone doing
31:20 today at parkrun (grass course) a little quicker than the tarmac 5km in August getting there
Certainly this is next goal

I'd also forgotten. Went from (watch times) 37:05 on a bumpy trail course parkrun three weeks ago to a very surprising 31:36 on my hilly home run the next week.
And last week I went to a flat course on a calm day, and ran 28:17 
And the day after that I ran a last-minute 10K race in 1:06:59.
Mind you, back to 36:50 today (home course, horrendous rain).

And well done Night-Owl: a grass course is a good bit tougher. I've only run one mainly grass course parkrun, didn't enjoy it.

Ooh I should have updated too! After trying and trying for years and getting close over the summer, I made a big jump to 27:01 in August and 26:32 in September. Then managed a 29:36 on a really tough course last week :O Big improvements recently.
Well done everyone getting there and everyone still trying!

I’m nowhere near at the moment. Closest recently was 33.48. But most importantly I’m enjoying running and I know if I do some ‘effort’ runs it’ll help improve my time. Will probably do Project joker again soon.
