Just did my fastest in 31 mins and 40seconds!! This was one of my short runs this week, so I’ll do another one and then do the 13km this weekend. I’m increasing my distance by a km each week on great advice from fellow runners on here 😉👌🏃🏽‍♀️ I’m at 10k level and aim to do a Half Marathon by summer 🤞

That's excellent. I only really got my 5k consistently below 30mins when I started doing the 10k+ runs regularly.

1k/week is a good increment (I did something similar) but may just find that you'll go out, get to the 10mi/16.1k mark and just keep going.

Anyway, it looks like you've got this. Just keep your long runs slow and steady and you'll definitely get there.

Fabulous! long, slow runs really do pay off in terms of pace over short runs. The training is going well!!!
