World record here I come

[johnjc8]

Just done my second Parkrun this morning Improved my time by nearly 2 minutes!! At that rate of improvement I shall be at world record pace in about 9 weeks time (about mid-May). That is how it works isn't it?

No John, you'll be at world record pace in less than 9 weeks. You've assumed that your rate of improvement is linear. It isn't it's exponential. This week was a 2 minute saving - next will be 4 and the week after at least 8

Can I have your autograph before you are world famous - having blown Mo Farah into a dismal 2nd...

Hi Adam. Glad to know I'm not the only one running in an alternative universe

And if you keep going at that rate, you'll be back on the couch because you'll be finishing your runs before you start them !

If only... Well done on smashing your PB!
