So I decided to go to the red ash running track where my running began. This 5k was for (not) parkrun. I gave it everything I had and it paid off, a 5k pb of 28.21.
It seems flat but the elevation chart looks like a Toblerone.
I'm not too keen on running round and round in circles but I hadn't ran there since Christmas day 2019, so its been a while . I'm glad I did.
Happy running all😁😁
Brilliant! Would love to do sub 30 mins but if I go all out for it I run out of steam! X
Congratulations on getting that 28.21 PB at red ash running track where your running began, yes, that is your third sub 30 minute 5k which is excellent, a dream for me which will never happen.
This morning I went to Dunfermline and walked and ran a little around the parkrun course, (tomorrow is my not parkrun day) I met a runner who recognised me from other parkruns earlier this year, I ran with her the last 150 metres keeping just slightly ahead, she told me her 5K time this morning was about 28.30
Well done, great time. The benefit of tracks as far as I’m concerned is you don’t have to pause for roads, styles, gates etc or probably other people, oh and Strava can’t misroute you, you know exactly how far a 5k is, otherwise I’m not keen on circles either. I’m fascinated by the altitude reading, you would assume tracks would be flat.
I thought the track was flat also 🤔
Not sure about that but I have added those split kilometers on my calculator and your time comes to 27.02,
Congratulations Buddy34, great PB there, is love to run in a proper track sometime, no trip hazards apart from my own feet 😂
Thanks, the track is good as you say no roads to cross but it gets a bit boring 😁
If its a standard 400 metres athletic track then to run 5000 metres or 5K which you see athletes on the television in the summer months running at around 13 minutes, you will have ran around the track 12 and a half times, 10K is 25 times around a standard 400 metre track.
Phenomenal times there, love the toblerone affect. Well done. Happy running 🤗
Thank you 😊
Fantastic time! My current PB of 32:44 made me think one day I might get there but I need to find a flat (or at least gentle toblerone) course since my current course is uphill for the first 1km and I can't crack 7 minutes for it without ruining the rest of the run! Enjoy your weekend with that under your belt!
That’s fantastic congratulations. 🎊🥂👏🏻🎈
Fab time Buddy, well done 🥳👏
Congratulations on a fab 5k! 🥳
An amazing time Buddy, super impressed 👏 not quite sure how you cope with running round and round in a circle... but it obviously did the trick 😉
Well done Buddy 🥳. A fantastic 5k PB 😃. I love the Toblerone Bar graph 😂, very funny! I don’t know how you achieved that on a flat track! You are just going from strength to strength. It’s fantastic 🤩.
Thank you Delly-dot 😊
That’s a brilliant time 😁 I like the toblerone too
How great to go back to where you started C25k, and your progress since then has been brilliant Buddy.
I’m still working on getting back to pre-injury Speed, but once I get there I will be targeting sub 30 minutes again. 31:29 is my record so far.
Keep running, keep happy
Fantastic, you just get faster and faster,
Congrats! I graduated from C25K two weeks ago and decided to run each Mon Wed Fri rather than every other day, going forward. Last week I too decided to go for a PB on my original route; the only route I ran whilst doing C25K.
I really struggled to beat my best time but I’ve realised that I run ‘quicker’ when I try not to!
In fact the best things come to me when I least think about them and yesterday I ran......10K!
Congratulations on reaching 10k , it an amazing achievement 👏.
Speed doesn't usually bother me now , its all about getting the distance ran but yesterday I thought I'd give it a go.
I also have stuck to mon, wed and Friday since I started 21 months ago but the past 17 weeks I added in a sunday as well. 😊
Missed this post Buddy Wow! Well done, great time. 👍
Love the Toblerone and the time! 😀
🎽
Wowzers! What a time and a fast consistent pace. You are undoubtedly getting fitter and stronger and faster as well as having more stamina. Running has given you so much but goodness you have deserved it with a habit of running consistently in all weathers. I'm so chuffed for you!! You bloomin' deserve times and moments like this. Just wow! You are on fire!!!
Thanks GTFC, I amazed how quick I recovered and after a minute of walking I ran the 10 minutes home . Not at that pace though 😊👍
Well done on your new pb😊. That’s a brilliant time . All your hard work is paying off 👍🏼👏🏼
Thank you 😊
Great. Not sure if I’ll ever get to 5 k in 45 minutes let alone under 30 minutes we’ll done 👍👍😛
What a fabulous time, great to go back to where it all started and see and feel the improvement. Enjoy your next runs 👍👏🎉
Great time. Good running well done.
Wow! Great start to the day Buddy!! Congrats on the pb 👍. It's so inspiring looking at those stats and gives me motivation to keep plugging on ...not that a sub 30 is close for me. Amazing job and that little aside that you ran home just mind-blowing 🤯
Great job Buddy, how speedy are you! 👏
Funny your run looking like a toblerone as after getting back from my long run I've just treated myself to 3 triangles...been ages since I've had one, I'd forgotten how yummy they are.
Maybe if you thought the route was flat, Garmin is actually instructing you to have a choccie bar 🤷♀️
That is amazing. Fantastic, Buddy.
Wow Buddy, you deserve a celebratory toblerone!! Well done, a sub 30'!! I read that a 47 yo just managed to do a sub 15' so you've got something to work towards now 
So good to go back to debuts and see how far you've come.
Saturday when I said on a post, i was disappointed to be finished so early after a short 10km. Someone commented and I thought, yeah what is that about? 10km was the world's longest distance not that long ago. I find that walking some bits and running others on trail makes it less pressured and so I can keep going for (nearly) ever. Anyway well done on such a fantastic result x
Thanks. I still remember when 60 seconds felt like forever 🤣
I don't think I'll ever forget that first 60' (or the second) when I was like well this is going to be easy and I might as well skip to week 3 and wait how is that only 20 seconds but surely I am done now and HOW LONG IS THIS 60'?
Speedy! Go you 👍
Yikes! Amazing time and chart. Makes me feel like a Toblerone!
Post-injury run and getting-back-to-it thoughts
Oh no, bad back and a looming 10k race - help!
Back to the Future (or back to Couch to 5k with a difference)
