A hilly 12 miles today with my girlfriend who hasn't ran further than a 10km for several months.
Yesterday saw me get a 24.30 parkrun, only went faster than that 3 times last year.
Other than that it's been an easy week with just a club run on Tuesday but 4 gym sessions working on strength.

We did a hilly 10.5 mile run yesterday.
Tomorrow we have interval training, a tempo run on Friday. 2 cross training sessions of skiing (dry ski slope) and walking (hopefully a mountain hike), and a 14 mile run on Sunday.  |

Smashed 5k this morning. A sub 30 which is always good. With the highest amount of incline yet on pavements with traffic lights for the middle 2km. Buzzing with that!!!! Just shows a couple of more days more recovery from a cold and fitness comes back!!!! - 29.50 (pace 5.57). Not a pb but I don’t care |

Stretch and flex is like yoga and Pilates - felt a bit silly at first and actually got in to.

3km done in 5km pace!!! Not rapidly quick but it did feel a bit icey out there and on pavements so didn’t give it 100% for heart rate deliberated. Still 6min km though |

Let us say that I'd been burning the candle at both ends for 5 days..
Spontaneous 10k this morning, few substantial hills. I'd like to lop 10-minutes off, get back to previous form- but with swollen tonsils, I did well not to vomit 10 times the first 2 miles. Just Glad to have finished. |

If you've got tonsillitis you really shouldn't be running!  |

I know this feeling after last week thinking after 2 days in bed I would still be able to run and realising and failing miserably |

Recovering from a head cold buuuuttt wanting to hit 60km in January meant I went out for my longest-ever run this lunchtime - thanks Strava...
Just over 8km at 5.13/km average, I'm feeling pretty pleased!
For me, once the initial achey feverish stage is over, and if it hasn't gone to my chest, running with a cold is ok once I get myself out there. |

Parkrun 100 ticked off today. And a very windy coastal run as we're touristing which made a change from the normal mud and puddles! Another sub 25 despite a ridiculously slow 1st kilometre due to 2 walkers starting at the front and causing a huge bottleneck! |

Short sharp threshold 5.5km blast this morning as crunched for time. Planning for a long slow distance one tomorrow.
I need to motivate myself to enter some 10ks |

Hi, I started running 2 months ago and my fastest Parkrun is 19:07. I’ve just been training twice a week, if I train 3 or 4 times a week, what do you think I could get it down to realistically ? |
