still chipping away at 5k time...

Late afternoon yesterday my brain was feeling well frazzled, so I decided a run could be just the thing. Having "accidentally" done a long run on Sunday evening, I wanted to work on pace rather than distance so decided to use the Stamina podcast. Well it was a slog at first, but about half way through things clicked and by the end I realised I was at 4.3k - well obviously I couldn't just stop so close to the 5k mark, so I slowed down but kept running. Sped up again for a real sprint finish in the hope of getting my time down to 41 minutes, but it wasn't to be - but still 41:10 is a new best for me... Dunno if I'll ever get to the mythical 30 minutes, but 40 is starting to feel attainable.

A new PB, that's fantastic, well done! The mythical 30 minutes still eludes me too but its good to have a goal. Little by little I am chipping away at my times, but, the main thing is we are out there doing it and enjoying the run.

You will, but you just have to chip away at it. I love those podcasts and use them a lot
