Yes please - fits in well with the β€˜Summer of Speed’ that my running club has planned. One of my targets is a sub 25min 5k, and with a 5k club race tomorrow night I might just get ahead of myself - 🀞

Count me in Abi and Sqkr!

Hoping to improve my 5k time over the summer but will probably go for 1 mile for the speed challenge - need to get some practise in for the relay race my son and I are doing in August 😁

I’m on week 2 of a plan to increase my speed over the summer, ahead of upping my mileage again before Beachy Head 10k in the Autumn.

I’ll give it a pass considering the marathon in the 5th of May I’ll be in taper and then in bed ;)

I might do something towards the end of May if I recovered , but let’s not plan on it

Enjoy !!!!

Go on then. I have a HM right in the middle of that so I'm sure my speed will be vairiable each week, However, the goal I have had since completeing C25k is to run a sub 25min 5k. Strava says 25:02 is my current PB. Tantalisingly close.

Only one run per week needed, and you don't have to run every week either!

You are right of course. I am pushing to edge up a bit quicker. But no PRs in sight right now. My miles have dropped off since the last race too. I need to spool them back up again.

Hi Roseabi - yes, I'm in for this one. My aim now is to improve my 10k time. Have signed up for four more 10k's over the summer (next is 19th May) and want to beat my current PB of 1h 6m (best this year so far 1h 10m).
