Tonight after a number of 5k relatively good runs that I have not mentioned I ran tonight and beat my Swanley Park loop which I aimed to do but the effort used led to me stopping on a 5k run for the first time since January. I have always beat the gremlins but not tonight had a minute rest before continuing. Total running time 27.44 mins actual time 29.05 mins including rest still under 30 seconds.

It happens... I’ve had several runs that beat me so badly I couldn’t finish them. Unless there’s a reason you can identify, just chalk it up as a bad day, the next one will be smoother. Kudos for getting going again... and with or without a stop that’s a mighty fine time.

Thanks UnfitNoMore hadn’t had an issue since the Parkrun in January 2020 so guessed there would be one at one stage. I know the issue I mixed it up too much started in a different place put my mile markers all out but hey next one will be back to the usual start. Will take it steady maybe end of the week will try again.

Not what you're looking for?
