Thanks, not sure what current race pace is.

I ran this yesterday:
Distance 4.9mi
Moving Time 38:01
Pace 7:44/mi
Elevation 186ft

laps
```
meters	min	sec	min/mile	min/km
4660	22	56	07:55		04:55
3161	14	37	07:27		04:37
```
the 2nd lap I upped the pace but not to race pace. I'll take a punt at 4:45 min/km pace for tempo.

Run a park run. Smash it. That's your race pace.

Plug your numbers into an online training pace calculator (Mcmillan, vdot etc..) for training paces.

My tempo pace is the race pace that I would run double the distance I'm currently running - e..g 10k race pace for 5k, 20k race pace for a 10k etc...

Did this and got a 21:07. I think it may take me a year to see if I can 6 min/mile one. I'd like to run a sub 20 this year. That should be achievable as I'm not in great condition. I also only really want to run 2-3 time a week.

What I have worked out is that trying to structure my training really turns me off. I may to too lazy to train in the best way. Think I might just keep running and turn up to parkruns every now and again. When I get to the point where I'm not getting any faster I'll think about my training then.
