Just a second !!

A nice early morning run out in light rain and a slight breeze ,I was up for it too, feeling good from my new 10K pb last sunday !! Thought I might have a go at reducing my 5K pb today , well , I did, .....by 1 second !! Finishing time was 29:58 .My fastest kilometre , and best to date, was 5:25 , the average pace I will have to run at to reach my new goal of 27:30 !! Time now for some easier paced efforts ,I think, to keep the enjoyment and energy levels up and recuperate !! Trying to run a little later in the day now these day light hours are starting to go in to decline ! Finding that running in the late morning's - mid afternoon that Ive more energy available and feel more motivated .How are you guys on this , do you organise your run ,around your daily schedule and fit it in where you can despite having a preference for taking your run at a particular time of day ? And as an after thought , how often do you consciously go after a new pb ?

Great effort. Brilliant fastest km time. I'm stuck on slow runs monitoring HR but had a great 1min blast at end of 40min today so going for a fast run next week. Good luck with juggling time/speed/daylight etc

Brilliant 👍🏼 well done!

Brilliant time!

Definitely having runs organized around commitments, not other way round, except for parkrun.

I would be after pb but are quite slow. PB is a good feeling for me.

Congratulations on your new 5k pb. I always run at 10 am. The only time I chase a new pb is at parkrun, I didn't think I would do this as I was just so pleased to complete it . Last Saturday was 30.56. So I will wait and see what I can do next Saturday. 😊😊
