What parkrun do people do?
Also training; I'd like to start training for fast 5ks. I don't think 6 min/mileing one (18:38) is out of question given enough time/quality training. I went form non runner to 19:25 about 5 years ago in 4-5 months of running 3 times a week with no structure (and awful pacing).
Things to consider; a bit injury prone, I don't feel comfortable running greater than 10km.
Only want to run 3 time a week (longer slow runs can be replaced with bike ride).
Really poor at pacing myself.
Would prob need to lost the 3-6(+)kg extra weight I'm carrying to get quicker than my previous pb.
Is it as easy as doing a tempo run, an interval run, an other (?) run and an easy bike ride at the weekend? how do you judge a tempo run?
Anyone got any good advice?
