PBs in the cold!

My PB for 5k has come down to 39:21 from 41:27 in the past week ... so the cold must be making me run faster! Am pretty happy to have broken 40 minute barrier at last! Still working on stamina more than pace, though, with LSDs going up 1k per week .. aiming for 8k next.

Hey genevan I as running about the same as you for 5k, but I prefer stamina and get greater reward for myself in doing longer distances all be it at a alow pace.

Averaging 6-8km for every run. best distance is 12.1km........now that was hard goi.ng

The snow helped me to a PB at my local park run on Saturday...23 seconds!!! Much easier to run on snow than mud!
