24 minutes this morning is a PB for 5km since I started recording times at the start of this thread. I'm sure it's not my best ever, but I'm happy with the progress. I'd love to be able to double it up and do 10km in <50 minutes, but that's a fair way off, I think.

You’d be surprised! Keep it up and I reckon that 10km would be right around the corner. You could probably do it right now on flat terrain 😂

I reckon the distance is sweet; it's the pace that'd get me, y'feel? I can get by for distance on sheer determination but my body starts to shut down if I up the pace too much haha. I think the plan is to get my 2km time down to give myself a good platform, and then work in gradually building into the 5km, 7.5km, 10km etc. :)

Nice plan!

When I was doing my research, a lot of people suggested a speed, medium, and distance run per week. (I.e., a 2km for time, a casual 5km just for the miles in the body, and then a 10km). This was when I wanted a better 2km so I think the idea was that the distances feed into each other. Fun stuff.

Just hit 10km in 54.35. Happy. Would love to shave 5 minutes off that in due course, but that's my best in a fair while I'd imagine.

And 13km yesterday.

Happy with my progress from the start of this thread, where I was cooked after 2.5km.
