@andyp - although my head agrees with you, the rest of my body is less convinced. But, yes, thats been my experience cycling with a powermeter; when you start on something new, the first couple of times feels unnatural (for want of a better word).

@HatBeard - nice. hopefully i'll match your progression

@TW no current 5 or 10k. ive basically run once or twice a week for a year, just as a complement to fairly structured cycling. I'll do a few weeks structured running to get a sense of what's realistic then do (likely) the regents park 10k at the beginning of June for a baseline

Why wait?

A parkrun this Saturday* will give you a good baseline.

You're fit, and not a stranger to running, so a 5k race isn't likely to do you any harm.

* Or 5k at race pace this evening.

Hi - I’m not sure what a 5k gives me that i don’t know from the 2 miles on Saturday?

I’ll get round to doing a parkrun, but 9am Saturdays are difficult coz kid commitments. Though we do the 2km junior run on Sundays! (4 year old hoping to crack 14 minutes next week...)
