Sorry the knee is still playing up. I'm playing with fire running flat out but just surviving with plenty of rest days.
The AG was 74.66% which I'm very happy with. I need 25 seconds and 5:49 to reach 80%. Hopefully there'll be an official Arena session at Withdean in the summer where I can give it an official go.

Beat the Gasson by 5 seconds for the first time this month but I must admit he didn't know it was a race.

Now back to reality. I don't have the stamina to race a 5K and the British Master's virtual mile to do between yesterday and next Sunday will have yesterday's time to make sure I don't overdo it in a second attempt too soon (or will it?).

With a guy like Gasson it's always a race!

You're on fire but don't burn out.

Just put some effort in on a short distance for the first time since mid-November and improved my 10km PB from 41:32 to 39:05.

Also picked up a 5km PB en route - 19:01 and also my fastest mile of 6:01 apparently.

I’m quite pleased with that!

Is anyone on here doing the Brighton half on June 27th? If yes are you optimistic it will go ahead?

I’m not doing it, but with all lockdown restrictions potentially being lifted on 21st, I’d be very confident of an outdoor event going ahead a week later.

Yes that's what I'm thinking, sure helps when trying to get motivated to go and run.

Brilliant Bozza.

You'll be running on your own at parkrun when it restarts!

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] is denying gravity in an ever upward spiral of faster times. Amazingly all done with constant high mileage, no tapering and no pacers. Incredible year and a half. I’ve had to rule out half marathon, 10k and 5k possible challenges with him as I’m no longer good enough. A mile challenge would be worth having to push us both but I can see that is almost beyond me and only 800m/400m are left.

Even worse the old boy’s AG must be right up there.

Is this the page you use? http://www.howardgrubb.co.uk/athletics/wmalookup06.html

It says:

5km - 75.25%
10km - 76.42%

My mile best is pretty ordinary - 69.94% - but that was one mile out of 6.22. I've never tried to run a single mile test.

That above is Parkrun date.
Clubs can restart training earlier, so hopefully I’ll be tearing round Withdean on Monday nights from the end of March.

22.28 5k today @75.35%. Just edged you on the 5k, but

a) not for long

b) I'd be nowhere near your 10k AG
Click to expand...

Based on that 10km I'm guessing, possibly optimistically, that I could now get close to 18:30 if I was running a 5km and knowing I could stop after 5km instead of running the same again. I'll give it a go at some point over the next few weeks.

Can I just check, is June the 5th an official date for Parkrun, obviously assuming the trend covid cases continues to drop?

If so I might just do a few this year.:eek:
