Maz you will def beat your last time:)

if you input your last training run into Fetch and go to the tab predictions, it gives you an estimate of your time for each distance race....

Thinking I might start doing 10k's and planning a route and seeing if I can get my time down..something to work towards!

10k :eek: I'm still on trying to get a sub 30 minute 5k yet. I could be here sometime

You running dudes, any advice on how to improve on my time? Is it just keep going out and doing the same run each time and pushing myself a bit harder than the last or should I be doing maybe 4 miles on one run, then try for a quicker 3 the next time?

Don't ask me!!! my 5k race last week was 37minutes! Why the need to get below 30mins before moving up?

not that i'm not impressed, cause i am! very!

There's a theory that anything above 4 miles takes you into a realm of training benefits... i do 3 miles twice a week, and 1 longer run of 5-6miles... that's while training for my upcoming 10ks... that's as much as i can fit in with family life...

plus other exercise if you like it, i do gym swim maybe once each a week...

It definitely sounds rude :rotfl:

Well done Luc - I'm still on a 'yay I'm running again' high after the weekend, isn't it good? I've been playing with Fetcheveryone all morning, getting routes planned out etc

I want to try and get under 10 minutes a mile, does that make me weird?

See I think I would probably end up crawling for half of a 10k. There is on at Whipsnake Zoo on 7th June, and was thinking of entering maybe do run a bit, walk a bit, but not really sure

nope, not wierd at all.... you must be pretty good though so stop hiding your light under a bushel!! you might find if you extend the distance you will fall under 10min miles naturally, rather than pushing thru in relatively short runs... try a 4miler even once a week and see if your splits are quicker... i bet they will be, my last mile is always my quickest one....
