Plotted a simple there and back 4k and was looking to break 24 mins which I managed to do but was running on empty for the last few hundred metres, the gremlins were out in force but then I thought of all my lovely running buddies who were telling me that I could carry on and so I did, it really is true you may run by yourself but you are never alone! So thank you Ripcurlrana71 HoagyM ju-ju- Hidden and all the others and Oldfloss I promise I will be back to slow and steady on Sunday!

That’s brilliant - so very proud of you buddy!! 💪🏼💪🏼 It’s exhausting but rewarding. Chill out and enjoy your well deserved rest day. 😊 X

Terrific run VRB, and that’s some pace! Well done. Mixing up the short and long runs is definitely the way to go.

Brilliant run! You don't need to worry about slow and steady now graduate! 😉You're in Ju-Ju's camp now and you'll want to introduce short quick runs focusing on intervals / fartleks, a mid-tempo 5k run and THEN a slow and steady long run. Ju-Ju won't put you in detention, don't worry! 😉

Thanks, hopefully be up reasonably early to avoid the hottest part of the day
