"Did I miss the Parkrun social?! I had three days off but I didn’t actually want one. I was going yesterday but the snow, hail, wind and -3 temp put me right off, the cold really doesn’t do much for my lungs but GUESS WHAT!! I just did a 3.9k non stop in 25 mins. My faith in myself has been restored. I could have done more actually and I think I stopped too soon as I got a bit dizzy when I got in but I’m fucking proud of me. Is everyone ok? I was thinking of my first run tonight and I know you were all the same, look how far we’ve come." 3.9km is fantastic, well done! That’s a cracking pace to keep up ![]() | |||

"Hello one and all. Update from m my own personal running quest. Managed the week 5 day three run. I had to run week 5 over about 10 days as my flu jab gave me some horrid side effects. Now that’s clear I can safely say I ran about 5.5 km on Saturday. An move onto week 6 now. Well done everybody. An what a great idea organising a social. I will let you know about that in due course if I can attend. Have a good week everyone H " I dream of doing a 5k, are you a park runner? | |||

"Only managed 1 run last week, I've missed the long runs. Started week 6 tonight, nit looking forward to saturdays 25 min run ![]() Don’t worry about the schedule. Several people are doing it at a slower pace. 25 minutes is easy (hard), you’ll be fine (you’ll wish for a twisted ankle), just go for it (go reeeeeeeally sloooooowly as the only way to survive!!!) Good luck!! | |||

" There’s 3 things that improvers need to do: increase top speed by doing short intervals (100-400m), increase speed stamina by doing longer intervals (400m-2000m), and increase stamina (longer runs). Whole marathon programmes exist based on 3 quality runs a week with lots of rest in between. For 5K the first two are most important. | |||

" Just get yourself to the distance you want to be running, then you’ll have you run route that you go. Keep running that and you will see the times drop. Get Strava, Nike run club or run-keeper. Easy then to track your progress. Pace will increase quite quick once you have found your distance and conditioning | |||

Big thank you to sergeant major (mrs) Trellis and two tone for the motivation!! Question for experienced runners. I’m running at an easy 8km/hour pace for 3.2km and I’m looking to push on (a little bit!!). Should I be looking at increasing pace or distance or both? There’s 3 things that improvers need to do: increase top speed by doing short intervals (100-400m), increase speed stamina by doing longer intervals (400m-2000m), and increase stamina (longer runs). Whole marathon programmes exist based on 3 quality runs a week with lots of rest in between. For 5K the first two are most important." Ok, so mix it up a bit with a bit of both? | |||

I’m running at an easy 8km/hour pace for 3.2km and I’m looking to push on (a little bit!!). Should I be looking at increasing pace or distance or both? I did a split time for my run last night, the walking pace for me is about 4mph while the run was 5.5mph for 25 minutes. I’m unlikely to set off the police speed traps but my long legs means a faster pace is easier. The amount of lard on my arse means a fast pace is difficult so it’s swings and roundabouts really ![]() I totally agree, don't even worry about speed until you can comfortably run for an hour without stopping. Once you hit that stage, then your body will be sufficient hardened to be able to cope with the additional stresses of higher intensity runs | |||
