Running

Earlier this week, I started on a plan to hit 19:59 for a 5k, some time in early February 2016

My current 5k is 22 minutes, but I reckon that I should be knocking out a 21:30 if I managed to do a park run without getting a massive stitch

I don't think my usual 3 days a week (1 speed, 1 tempo, 1 long) will cut it any more - I don't seem to have the speed endurance that I need to finish sub-20, so I'm upping the number of runs I'm doing and getting more quality miles in my legs

At the moment, I'm aiming at 5 or 6 runs per week

• 1 Intervals or repeats (sub-5k pace and 5k pace)
  
• 1 or 2 threshold or tempo (5k & 10k pace)
  
• 1 long (HM pace)
  
• 1 or 2 recovery (mara pace & slower) runs.
  
  

My shoes are green. I might buys some red ones.
