5k PB

Okay not fast to most of you but 4Minutes under my old best, all due to slowing it down on long runs. Not going to do another "quick" run for a while now just concentrate on consoladating my 60 min runs and mixing up the short ones with Hills, intervals and, easy runs.

That's a good time Kevin and what an improvement!

I believe that the longer slower runs do the most good, but it is fun to let rip occasionally, providing you build up to it! Slow runs don't lead to as many injuries, that is for sure. Enjoy it!, 🙂

☝👏👏👏👏

Superb! Well done you and it's a great time too. Don't ever worry unduly about pace. There's always people faster etc but your run is just that and it's a terrific one. If it were a race, we'd all get the same medal 🏅

All looks good to me. Feel chuffed and keep going 😁

That’s certainly faster than I can do it! Well done for your PB knocking 4 minutes off your previous time 👏👏👏👍

I’m with you on the slow runs and I do have an occasional burst of (almost) speed, before getting back to those runs that I enjoy the most! 👍
