Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc…
Good 5.5km run with the doggo this morning…was actually about 6.5 I think, but I forgot to restart my watch at some point… daaaah
5k race tommorow. I bit stressed because i didn’t train for this year race. I was focusing on long distances in the last 6 month and found the race one week ago. I’m aiming for 22:30min
Good luck!
Cool thing about 5Ks is that you can do one now and another one 2 weeks later.
Still worth investing in a good 5K season though (I e. you do a lot more sprint intervals and threshold runs). I prefer long distances but spent the past 5 months or so solely focused on improving my 5K times and it’s making me a much better runner, including for long distances.
I ended up achieving a new PR. I didn’t expect that. My time was 20:37
Amazing. Well done!
Ran 24:44 at this morning’s Parkrun which is a PB for me this year. Still a fair way off my best times from last year but I’m slowly getting back to that level. I have been really slack with training for the last fortnight (zero runs outside of Parkrun) so it feels good to still be making small gains. I think my legs have probably appreciated the additional rest, too.
Trying to get back in shape after about 10 years, 2 kids, and 80 pounds. Trying to get to 1.5 miles without walking, but I live on a hilly stretch of road.
I had back surgery Nov 29 last year. Surgeon told me I’d never run again. This morning I ran a 29.35 at ParkRun. Never give up.
This is amazing
Right on.
