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…

Back at Parkrun last Saturday, time: 33:48 Not a bad time for me this year as I’m a lot slower than a 24 months ago. But getting there! Hope to break my PB for the Parkrun this winter so lets see how we go!
05/07 – 27:33 (full results) Time to get back on the beach for some training. Got to get these times back down again! Way of my by PB of 23:22. I did stop for a quick chat with my cousin along the way but still very slow.
22/08 – 30:02 (full results) Drum roll please…! Well done Angela on your first Parkrun AND on doing your PB for 5k… on your first Parkrun… 🙂 Grats Beautiful. You rocked! Really enjoyed the run with you. 05/08 – 25:35 (full results) Still recovering from a long run the Sunday before (Joan’s Milk Run 15k). Well… also to be honest… I’m just not fit at the moment. But all good. It is winter after. 01/08 – 24:44 (full results) Benj’s 50th Park run! Grats man and well done. Benji is…
May goal: 24:15 (smashed at 23:22!) April best time: 24:26 23/05 – 25:03 (full results) Definitely a slower run today, but hey after smashing into the 23’s last week I figured a nice comfortable run will do me just fine 🙂 Read: I was a bit lazy today. 16/05 – 23:22 (PB) (full results) Over 1 min off my previous PB of 24:26…ran for the first time in my new trainers. I think I like them 🙂 23:22, wow man I was not expecting that! 23:22…enough said. Did I mention…
April goal: 24:40 (smashed at 24:26!) March best time: 24:48 25/04 – 24:37 (PB) (full results) Good run today! 11 seconds off my PB so pretty chuffed with that. Good strong run with Kian again through the bush and especially along the front. That is definitely helping my times! So thinking now about next month’s goal, also keeping in mind I’ll probably only have one or two races in May as I’m away. Lets aim for 24:15 in May I think. Or perhaps what I’ll do is run with Jean and…
March goal: 24:55 Feb best time: 25:09 28/03 – 25:34 (full results) Quite a bit slower than last week and I thought I was going to be close to 25 flat 🙁 Hey ho. Was a good run and a decent time so happy days 🙂 21/03 – 24:48 (full results) SUB 25min! Wow. Thanks to Benj for all the runs we been doing and to Henry on Saturday for helping with some motivation up the hill to the finish! Was a great morning for running and having done a strong…
Here you go, February results! Bit late in getting this started as I missed the first run of the month and then it’s been crazy busy since then. Feb goal: 25:30 – Smashed at 25:09 January best time: 25:40 28/02 – 25:09 (full results) I knew I was in for trouble when Benj announced to the whole parkrun that I wanted to do a sub 25 before the end of Feb. I must have one to many beers when I made that comment! Anyway, what was done was done. But…
For my Park Run results I’m going to do a monthly post that I’ll just update rather than a weekly post that just clutters up the blog. Think that will be a good way to list the times and monitor how I’m doing too. I.e. week by week on one page per month and I can list my average for the last month and goal for next month… anyway, work in progress so we’ll see how it goes. 03/01 – 27:58 (full results) 10/01 – 26:59 (full results) 17/01 –…
