Distance rather than speed today . . .

Well this past week I've made two attempts to get my 5k time down to under 30 mins. Unfortunately both attempts failed, best was 4 seconds out, worst was 25 seconds out, I shall try again next week. This morning I thought I would finish my running week with more of a plod, left about 6.30 and did 10k. At that time of the morning there was hardly anybody about except near the finish of my run I encountered a pack of hounds from the local hunt being exercised. I must admit it was slightly worrying to see about forty or more dogs heading towards me down a narrow country lane but I passed them without incident I am pleased to say 😁 . . . happy weekend and bank holiday running everybody 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ 😀

I'm sure your sub 30 5k will come , you're so close. This mornings run sounded so peaceful and enjoyable until you met the dogs anyway 🤣🐕. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊

[orangeguy Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

Well I hope so, I will be making another attempt on Monday morning I think, fingers crossed . . .

Yikes 40 hounds. That would have got me a Pb in the opposite direction. Well done on your 10k run this morning. Here’s to sub 30mins really soon. Happy running 🤗

[orangeguy Graduate10]

The hounds seemed just to ignore me, mind you there four chaps on bikes with sticks keeping them under control thankfully 😊

That is still excellent, orangeguy. I tried for 5k in under40, and decided I was more comfortable with increasing duration, not pace. I’ll see how it all goes.
