1st one tomorrow morning hoping to do 5k in under 29mins,did i trial run in 29:14 yesterday but iv'e had a few beers watching the match anyways ile post up me time later anyone else doing this run?
 


couldn't compete on satda had cramp in me left calf muscle caused by an old footy injury anyways did a 5k today in a pb time of 27.25 & im'e hoping to do the park run this w/end

revised time of 25.25 after seeing online that the finish line is actually shorter than what was on the map, iv'e been running 3.29 miles instead of 3.1
 
completed me 1st park run ever in a time of 26.18 which had me in 58/137 with me bein the 50th male to finish bit windy & i felt like dieing so hoping it can only get better!

Excellent time that mate. I managed 28:01 which I'm pleased with as a first attempt.

Aiming to get closer to your time by training hard in the next few weeks for when I do the GNR 5k.

Any tips for improving running fitness? My mate reckons hill sprints?
