An exciting week with the Winter 5k the highlight. That means it’s very important to run an easy parkrun on Saturday. 30 mins plus please π Really like where you’re at with your running right now and I think those 5k times will continue to improve. So keep up the excellent work Jim. A real pleasure to have you part of the Team π

Always a favourite with the team! Keep that first rep at 5k pace and then start to ramp up that speed. Enjoy!
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.

“Easy means Easy! Not 5k pace, not 10k pace, not even marathon pace. Easy pace!! π”
Save those legs for the bigger sessions and enjoy running comfortably among the pack.
Thank you.
Enjoy. Swimming is a great alternative to running and probably the best form of cross training.
