Thank you. I didn’t realise how fast I’d gone until I got home and checked Strava 😊

just look at that pace. I'd like some of what you're on too, but i fear it's the elixir of youth :)

You could do the ‘oooooooo’ sound while hitting your mouth with your hand (like kids playing cowboys & Indians) next time out if you change your name!!!

Thanks, Angela! I still don't know how I managed that. I knocked more than a minute off my 5k time that I did on Tuesday when I was out with the coach!

Well, however you did it, that's a cracking pace - you're leaving the rest of us for dust! Great stuff ...

Excellent work sir. The devil will be in the detail. Check out your splits vs similar runs. It may be that you started slow and just got quicker and quicker or that you ran even paced. I did one run where all the inclines and downhill bits suited me and it made a significant difference. Each split was 5-10 secs faster than the last.

Thank You! My first km was just over 5 mins. The next 4 were all well under 5 mins and pretty much identical. The 6th km was a cool off as my legs were starting to complain 😂
