peanut Oct 2024 11:01am, 6 Oct 2024 112 posts	0 peanut I feel nervous because I've missed a few weeks running so I don't think I've given 100% to my training. But this last week have been feeling good. And I did a 5k race today and got a 2s PB, which I'm super happy with after having 3 bad 5ks over the summer. Not sure it equates to 1:30 but I'll give it a good go!

peanut Oct 2024 6:09pm, 13 Oct 2024 114 posts	0 peanut Super chuffed with 1:28:50 today! About 2.5min PB. Wasn't that confident going into it so the plan was to stick with the pacers. Felt really good and edged slightly ahead at half way then kept pushing. Never would I have thought I could run that sort of time.
