Good luck if you’re running today, weather is perfect here this morning πŸ™‚β›…οΈ Have fun and get out there and enjoy it!

That’s the sort of speed I hope to get to eventually - I’m sat at around 9min/k over the whole run. I’ll get there!

What are your plans from here? You would seem more than ready for Bridge to 10k.
