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…

Not a great year for exercise for me, but this is still a pretty cool vid. Really like what Strava are doing. And note when you use them how much they talk about privacy… they get it. I think they strike a good balance between sharing information, providing features and personal privacy. Well done.

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!
Ended the year with a strong Parkrun with Ang on Saturday. Was a great race with 466 runners! Finished in the top 30%, which is not to bad but was very chuffed to run my best 5k time this year! Congratulations on completing your 45th parkrun and your 45th at Kidds Beach parkrun today. You finished in 130th place and were the 102nd male out of a field of 466 parkrunners and you came 9th in your age category VM40-44. Take a look at this week’s full set of results…

Lets see how it goes. will only share the interesting ones 🙂 Click here for all my running stats Tough run, not done this route for some time, also shortened it by a couple kms. Usually about 10k.

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.
