A beautiful spring-like morning with just a touch of frost on the ground and it was a joy to be out there pounding the pavements! My fastest run yet, hope it wasn't a fluke :-)

Oh my word - fantastic! Well done you! I'm still at least 2mins (on a good day!) away from hitting 30mins for 5k. It's bound to give you confidence and I don't doubt you'll be hitting 30mins very soon. :-)

What a fantastic time, saruma! My fastest time is around 31 mins but that was downhill with a following gale! Haven't managed to get near it recently but starting to whittle it down again to about 32 mins. Are you using the 5k+ podcasts at all? :)

Not yet oona, thought I'd have a week or two post grad to just enjoy running for 30 mins at whatever pace feels comfortable. I do intend to move onto them shortly though!
