I ignored everything Oldfloss has ever taught me and decided to see how fast I could run 5K 
The 4th km was a bit of a struggle but the last mostly downslope downbreeze km was a joy 
W8R3 done! Plans are Parkrun on Saturday at a rather more appropriate pace then W9R2 on Monday and W9R3 on my birthday on Wednesday.
Check you being all speedy and stuff!! Well done completing week 8! That's a big deal, but I guess you have your eyes firmly on the next prize 
not far to go now.
I like being ignored.. by Graduates 😊 I ignore myself sometimes...and run quickly...Brilliant time and a downhill spurt too..Wow..!
Huge well done..ignore me any time you like..xx
PS
New runners...please ..slow and steady..else I'll come and get you...😆
Yes, as I have already graduated once a year ago I felt I understand enough about running to push things today. W9 will be slower, after all I have a whole extra 2 minutes to run
Seeing as you fitted your 5k into the constraints of a 28 minute workout, I don't see how we can grumble. Just remember not to try to do that on every run.
Well done.............only one question.......... was that done at an easy conversational pace?
Mostly, yes. I made a point of checking that I could still talk. The sentences were quite short in the 4th km but I think 4:58 for the last km shows I wasn't overdoing it. As I said, I will slow down for W9.
Week 8 and sub 5 mins per Km. That is really good. Take it steady though, injury comes all too easily if you overdo it.
Awesome 5K time Now-runner!!!
R-E-S-P-E-C-T-!!! 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
You must've been going like something off a shovel...
Just to clarify, you didn't do that on a motorcycle did you?! 😂
Aw shucks, thank you 🤭 I worked out my "Age Grade" this morning, I'm very pleased with 61%. No mechanical aids involved, just my faithful hound running with me (well, she runs somewhere within 100 yds) and the last km mostly down a slope with a breeze assisting me as well.
61% That’s very good going indeed, I hadn’t heard of this before... I just did mine and it’s 46% so some room for improvement, I’d have to shave 2 min off to get up to 50% or I could just look again when I’m older and hope everyone else isn’t as fit!!! 🤣
Hey, you’ll have to update your header banner with your new PB, that’s something to be proud of there bud 😎👍
I'd forgotten about the header banner - I tried to use the new time but it wouldn't save it so I've used a photo I took.
I've just spotted your name on 10 is the Magic Number Plan so we'll be doing that together all being well
Aah good stuff Now-runner, I'll see you over the bridge... might try and keep up with you for a couple of K's! 😅
I just remembered a couple of mates posting their cross-country cycling exploits on Strava. The distances and times were unbelievably impressive for 60-somethings. It was a long time later that we found out they'd bought electric bikes!
🤣😂🤣 one way to stay top of the leaderboard I suppose! That’s just brilliant!
I've Graduated- thank you.
Week 3 in the bag! (but I've been naughty...)
Just so very sloooowwww....
Week 9 Run 3 -- Completed. Yay, I've graduated!
W8 . . . Breaking the rules! (Naughty, naughty)
