Another sub-30 5k

[Thecko]

Now that my fingers have finally thawed out from running Parkrun on Saturday morning I can post this. Another sub-30 chalked up for me According to my watch I did it ~20 seconds faster again at 27:02, but my official time came through as 26:51 - I have absolutely no idea how the difference is so big 🤷🏻‍♂️

I've signed up for the AI running platform at trainasone.com as it will allow me to key in which races (including Parkruns) I intend to run between now and my half marathon in September, so I'll be sure to give occasional feedback on how I feel that's going.

The idea is that it adjusts the types of run it asks you to do depending on how you've been performing, the obvious goal being to do beneficial training without overdoing it leading to injury. Fingers crossed it does what it says on the tin 🤞🏻

Wow well done. That’s my next target, a sub 27 minute Parkrun. I did a new PB on Saturday and got 27:48. Really well done on your pace, fantastic achievement.

Well done Thecko, you always have slightly different times from the official Parkrun time to that you have ran on your own watch, 11 seconds is as they say within the margin of error.

Well done on your Parkrun time.

I'll be interested to follow your experience with the AI platform. I'm using Nike Run Club app, it has some element of AI algorithm. Im trying to work out what the algorithm is! A different distraction from pace and speed maths!
