You run... you enjoy and blow the times

But it is interesting... and as we know, this is all about 30 minute runs Our historical posts on this and the polls show how many folk never ever run 5K in 30 minutes

Just relax and run your runs You are doing just fine

PS

Just out of interest.. my last 5K...32 mins... ( I am 70 ) 5 years since I graduated... practice makes perfect or what ? 🤣

I got a post from the parkrun people about the average time of the first week of (not) parkrun, the average was about 35 minutes, that was from everyone who took part, not necessarily on a Saturday morning.
