Rosehip
Youngest is volunteering at parkrun for his DofE - this is most useful as he needs a lift there....
Have run twice so far, aiming for ~11 mm as a "steady" run (~34mins) rather than "eyeballs out" and ended up with 33:30 and then 32:30, which pleased me immensely 
Might give sub 31mins a bash before Christmas, but can't see me getting sub-30 this year.

and bumping this one too -
Any takers for a concerted effort by the end of the year?
I have a pr pencilled in for the end of the year as a test of what some consistent running might do - having failed to reap the benefits of PJ last time around due to the hot weather at my target event and laziness on Saturday morning's since!

Hi Rosehip!
I’m still a way off a sub 30 5K but will start watching this thread again and who knows? Maybe next year

Hello again Rosehip! We seem to have similar goals
I tried Project Joker over the summer too but got scuppered by the hot weather and then not being able to do a flattish 5k. Did a 5k race in September that was slower than the base one! Ah well. Perhaps I’ll have another go whilst waiting for marathon training to start.

*thread bump*
And here we are a year later and no nearer a 30 minute 5k, or that elusive 10mm target
But, I'm running better than I have in a few years, more consistently and without any "issues" so this is going to be my target for 2021. I ran 37:50 on 7th December so my first bit of a target is to get to sub 12mm
Goal 1 - 37:15 (11:59mm)
Goal 2 - sub 35 (11:16mm)
Goal 3 - sub 31 (10mm)
Goal 4 - sub 30 (9:39mm)
Goal 5 - PB 29:13 (9:23mm)
I'm hoping by the time parkrun is up and running again, I'll be consistently running 5k without any walk breaks.

Ooh hello. Sun 30 is a big stretch for me (32.11 at last attempt) but I’m still hopeful. I’m doing weekly speed sessions so you never know..
