That’s so fast for a buggy run! 16:53 is just ridiculous. How are you after something like that? I’ve never truly found my all-out effort on 5k and have generally hovered around 18min but would like to work on that once the marathon is out of the way.

Pretty tired! But I've tended to find chasing PBs on a track 5,000m gets more out of me and I've needed a proper lie down afterwards. 5k/10k training is quite refreshing after a marathon, just a different type of pain if raced properly.
@doubleodavey - I was close to 19 mins "chip time" at Dulwich recently, starting too far back and working my way through. So definitely a lot to come off but I'll work on it! :)

I loved the feel of Clifton 7 but they tore at the arch - after about 600 miles so I shouldn't complain too much, but used to getting 1,000+ miles out of a good daily trainer. Currently in Saucony Ride 15, maybe not quite as cushioned but a nice ride and durability seems pretty good.
I've been enjoying a few different experiences at parkrun recently. A few double buggy runs (current buggy pb 19:23, on grass around Charlton Park), some volunteering (20 mins pacing, also Charlton Park) and most recently a proper non-buggy blast around Dulwich Park last week, which we used as our club 5k champs. (Whilst also putting forward some volunteers for the morning to keep everyone happy.) 16:53, my first sub-17 since becoming a dad. Pretty happy with that off the more limited mileage I've been doing.
This weekend is the Southern Relays at Aldershot. (Anyone??) I'm on the glory leg for the V50 team (4 x 6k). Hoping for a medal but no idea what the competition will be like.
