Fast short runs

[Blossom-]

Just an update. I graduated six weeks ago, have been consolidating and doing the c25k+ pods. I'm now aiming for 5k on my 66th birthday in 3 weeks time by doing 1 'fast' 20 min, 1 30 min & 1 run adding 5mins. This week will be 40 mins. This morning in the rain was my fast run and it was fast! For me! Looks like I'm gonna achieve my aim! Go me!🏃‍♀️💥

That sounds brilliant well done 👍 It's great when you can see your goal in sight. Back in June I did one of my most enjoyable runs on my birthday in pouring rain. Fingers crossed you get better weather x😊

Good for you - that's a great thing to do and by the sounds of your plan and determination you'll get there, no problem!

Sounds like a good plan, I graduated end of June and haven't progressed much. I can still run for 30 minutes, around 4k. I pushed a bit yesterday and did run 5k but with intervals. I did a totally new route, with a hill (!) and had to walk up the hill until it levelled out, also on the return I walked up the hill until it became level. I did enjoy it though
