Hi CJ.
I would only give one piece of advice which always helped me. Stretch beforehand and take the first two km slower than you want to. Then enjoy whatever pace you find suits you after your body is nice and warm.
Good luck!!

Did it! I did way better than i thought i would. The race atmosphere helped. Only slight achilles pain. Towards mile 2 it was more intervals than constant running. Proud of my results and a solid baseline

My fitness has been slipping a little this year, but managed to get my fastest parkrun of 2024 yesterday

Managed my 5kms within 42 minutes today. I’m not looking for speed too quickly, just building up slow. Felt strong and easy today though.

Last run in my 6 week program. I plan to take a week off and let my body rest from running and then I’ll pick a new program.

Well, that’s 12 months in a row! What a journey it’s been. Yesterday felt great, but the course was a bit short according to everyone’s watches. So, probably really a couple more minutes. I’m finding my pace better each time.

Are you going to keep going or are you done with the one a month half?
Great question🙂
Well, this all started with a bad race last May. That’s when I vowed to do one a month until the same race this year. That race is now June 1st this year, so, I will go until then for sure. But, now I’ve seen one in Utah I want to do in July. So, I’m thinking I’m going to have a hard time stopping this little obsession.
My times have got way better. But, that’s caused me to reflect a bit on what am I really looking to get out of this? Lots of things actually. Some not so obvious and a bit embarrassing to even talk about. But, it has also led me to some “skirmishes” with alcohol. I recently reset my sober date. I need to focus on a few things. I’ve made some changes and am coming to grips with some things in life.
So yeah, good question, haha. Nothing’s ever easy, as I always tell the youngsters at work🙂

I found my next program I’m going to work. A 9 week 10k improvement plan. I looked at the planned runs and some of them will be a challenge. I set it to start next sunday

Went out running on Saturday and yesterday after work. Basically run a couple of songs, walk a song, and repeat 3 or 4 times. Not sure of distance or speed, but better than being on the sofa!
