    Scary! I love it - just a 5k - that would kill me right now so I admire you. What are the runs for?

    Great for measuring progress over time or using as a training session.:D

    Cool - only been on here a couple of days and already learning things. Well good luck to you both in both this weekend. I may use my insomnia and try and put some form of plan together now - could be interesting!

    Only 8 and a half hours to the starting gun, so I suppose bedtime looms!:p

    Good luck with your planning.

    Just got back :D:D:D

    Sub 25!!!! I'm so happy I killed it totally with around 24:41 :D

    Yippeeeeee I like this free race thing and that pace is faster than I've been doing my intervals at and I saved a bit for third lap - still had a very fast sprint finish so I know I can go faster :D

    Happy running all!

    (Oh and well done Rich - he'll do his own report... and we'll post the official results later :D)

    Mon19/1 Rest Day
    Tues20/1 3 x 1 Mile Intervals (6:08, 6:13, 6:17) (Average 6:13) (Pulse 128)
    Weds21/1 10 Miles 1:25:09 (8:31/mile) (Pulse 104)
    Thurs22/1 Rest Day
    Fri23/1 10K 52:06 (8:24/mile) (Pulse 102)
    Sat24/1 Parkrun Leeds Hyde Park 5K 20:16 (6:32/mile) (http://www.parkrun.com/Default.aspx?tabid=257 Event 69, Posn 18th)

    Didn't quite go sub 20:00 this morning but very pleased nonetheless with another 'almost sub 20' clocking:p .

    It still gave some positive indicators to the sub 40:00 10K being on for next Sunday.

    But that was some kind of 'wow' performance from Becky - 7:57 miling on a hilly course. It just shows what can be done when she doesn't have dishy photographers and other distractions to put her off!:p :p
