Do a sub 20 5k

Updated Nov 2022: This has had to be put on hold. Not even getting to run one a week at the moment so… not much chance of this happening in 2022.

OK. It’s been a goal since the running bug bit years ago. Nasty injury and a couple niggles later… I got to start from 0. So here we go. 0 to 5km, then 5km in under 20 mins. This year, 2022.

My fastest 5k is 23:22. So it’s going to take some beating.

I’ll track my progress here starting with my first run, 3km on the 18th.

Managed my first 5km walk/run today so here we go….Working out my 5km training route, want it to be a tough one with big hill climbs.

2022/01/21: 3km @ 8:21/km, 25:08

2022/02/15: 5km @ 9:24/km, 47:04

2022/02/22: 5km @ 8:40/km, 43:37

Figured out a nice tough route. Sea level and straight up till 2.5km, then back down and home.

Ouch.

2022/03/07: 5km @ 8:30/km, 41:59

Strong run today, left quite a bit of time on the table which was nice. Was just aiming for 8:30 and did that comfortably. Super chuffed 🙂
