35 to 23

[Windoze]

Three years ago I completed my first 5k in around 35 wheezy, sweaty, grunty, ungainly minutes.

My first run of this year I completed 5k in 23 wheezy, sweaty, more grunty and threw a load of swear words in last 400 meters 23 seconds...

Strava pic attached..

22 minutes i have you in my sights!

[SueKen Half Marathon in reply to Katnap]

Definitely! (Once it’s allowed again). Although suspect I may have trouble keeping up with the speedsters!

[Katnap Marathon in reply to SueKen]

🤣 trust me. We aren't all speedsters!

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to SueKen]

Thank you. Yes it is Vicky Park in leam 😃

[RunBrianRun Half Marathon]

That’s brilliant 👍👏👏👏 well done. You’ll easily go under 23, and I reckon 21 needs to start looking over its shoulder too.

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to RunBrianRun]

Cheers Brian!! 🤪

[a_in_gsr Half Marathon]

Wow! Did you train for this specifically, or was it more from long slow runs?

[Windoze Half Marathon in reply to a_in_gsr]

Hiya. Not train specifically for it but doing LEJOG and have started jeffing regular HMs (10 I think since sept) and try to at least once a week do an interval session or a hill session....

[a_in_gsr Half Marathon in reply to Windoze]

thank you! It's such great progress
