Got out for a second run tonight and well pleased with that. A 5k in 27.49 mins best result for a few weeks. Running twice a week again and time is improving and results seem to show. Hopefully everyone out there is well and getting out to run. Stay healthy, keep running and keep posting.

It really is very good Papillon17 that you are regularly running sub 30 minute 5Ks, another good run for you today.

Many runners who ran their first couple of 5K runs, ran it in 40 minutes, now are also running sub 30 minute times, my first two parkrun 5K times were 34.15 and 34.16 but I have never ran a sub 30 minute 5k, my best two parkrun times are 30.55 and 30.56. I have now given up with thinking about getting a sub 30 minute 5k and happy to get a sub 35 minute time😊🏃🏾👍

Thanks AlMorr I think 5k must be my natural distance as majority of runs are around or under the 30 min mark. I guess pretty good for a 59 year old. I am I think what is known as a determined runner I won’t pack up until I managed a 5k whatever the time. Well done you keep going.
