Parkrun PB by 30 seconds, hopefully even under 24:30 depending on the timing.
Dry ground makes it so much easier; a good 1.5km of the Wimbledon Parkrun course is a 2" deep mud/sticky bog in damp conditions.
Even better is this was at 86.6kg this morning which means, according to VDOT, losing 10kg (to get down to a "normal" BMI) gives me a target time of 21:52 for 5k and 3h28 for a marathon. If I could get to a racing weight of 70kg (BMI 23) then that's 20:22 and 3h14. Blimey. Anyway, long way to go before then.
Have to push harder on one of my 10k runs now. Current best is a 55:02 but I should really be pushing for closer to 50 minutes. It'd be lovely to do my 11.7km commute in under an hour (current best is 1h07). In fact, that's a good target to set on Strava.
