Amazing time and great to hear you are getting over covidRan my fastest 5k yesterday at 21.45. Still plenty of room for improvement but having not been able to run at all because of the long effects of COVID until about September-ish time, it feels good. Got to work to get under 21 minutes now. I have a dream of one day running sub 20 but it will probably be beyond me.
Club challenge I need 7 good hills to run up as close together as possible. Anyone got any recommendations? I need to be able to get there this week so it has to be local to Beduth/Cov
I didn’t really want to drive anywhere to be honest. I haven’t driven anywhere for leisure this lockdown. It’s all been from my doorstep.Nuneaton too far?
I know of two that way that are really tough; Leathermill Lane/Grange Road and a country Lane (no name) from the canal through the side of Windmill Hill Nature Reserve to Mancetter Road.
Whenever I run those I incorporate them into a canal tow path run so they end up being a nice country route. I’ve attached screen shots which hopefully help you find them/give nearby landmarks you can use to find them.

What size?Been wearing the Pegasus round the house the last day or so and they just dont seem to be agreeing with my foot. Going to return them today. Annoying as that conman Mike Ashley charges expensive delivery and you have to pay for your own returns! Grrrr.
Going to go into a running shop when they open and get a shoe that properly fits my foot. I trust an expert much more than I trust myself when it comes to judging what is right for me.
First 10k since 2019 today, plenty of walking after 3miles, but got to the magic 6.2 mile mark eventually.. my slowest ever 10k 1 hour 7mins, and a long way from the 50min mark was at back then, but least got to distance without sacking it off mid run like kept doing. Think the key was not stopping watch, now got a time to try and beat, going to forget the old times for now and just keep trying to beat my season (2021) pb
The amount of times I missed out on sub 25 when I started running was a joke must have ten times between 25:00-25:10 then went 24:405k yesterday morning, thought I was on pace to break the 25 minute barrier...25:05! Gah!
Had a 7.5 which was TTS for me and typically what I’d go for. The shoe fit fine but felt like the heel was really under supported and seemed to slip whenever I took a step. The heel itself doesn’t come up very high.What size?
another 10k this morning 1 hour 5min flat. Could have saved couple of mins if didn’t encountered so may hills after 4miles. Plan was to run 0.9m walk 0.1 x6 plus the 0.21 but had to throw a few more walks in late on due to hills.
I'm currently doing around 40-50 miles per month. 5k medium effort is around 25minutes. I think I could possibly push to 23 at the moment, but I don't have the motivation right now.Does anyone on here run about 50miles a month. If so what sort of times do you do for 5k and 10k

You won't get a "one size fits all answer for that".... otherwise everyone would do the same amount of miles and have the same times...
I'm doing 60-70 per week, yet struggling to break 18mins. But CrawleySkyBlue possibly doing slightly less but nearer to 17mins.
But to a general pattern, the more you do, the faster you'll get. 50 miles per month is not a huge amount and you will hit a ceiling to what you can do on that, but all depends on other factors.... if you are particularly lucky with age/weight/talent/fitness, you might be able to get near to 20mins... But for an "average" person on 50 miles per month i'd say 25mins was achievable.
Not bad at all. Would just sneak under 60 minute 10k with that. That’s a lot of people’s targetDid 5.6 miles in 53 minutes and 28 seconds Mo farah is panicking

Im aiming for 60km a week (slightly under that at the moment) and hitting sun 17:30 5kms. I tend to do 2 harder sessions a week and 4 more relaxed for reference. The harder sessions, typically 800m reps, do help a lot, but as Travs says, I’d build a base before going for harder rep sessions.
I imagine I have age on my side though Travs... otherwise no doubt, you’d be ahead of me?
Did a 10km this morning in the wind and rain, working hard enough at about steady 90% effort. 39.01
