  • 155k this month, that's more than I did in the entirety of 2019!

    My training plan of running pretty much daily but most runs being easy is turning out to be good for building strength and resilience without any injuries flaring up or getting too fatigued. Some random pains and tenderness afterwards sometimes but nothing that's sticking around.

    21:35 in my 5k TT benchmark (which felt horrible as it was the first proper 5k effort since September). My previous PB was 21:59, is it realistic to aim for a sub-20?

    I've got a PB of 21:10 and reckon I can get sub-20. I am also not a runner.

  • Yeah - I dunno how you ran the 5k TT but reckon if you could get an 18min runner to pace you, sub 20 would happen sooner than you think.

  • in June last year I did a similar time, by September I was down to sub 20 by only running 180-age and now down to sub 19, with one speed session per week!

    Admittedly I have run faster before, so not a perfect comparison, but it’s definitely possible.
