Oh wow, over 200! That’s very impressive. I’ve done…5. I’m not much of a 5k runner tbh. Do more 10ks and triathlons, but I decided I wanted to try for a sub-18 5k before I turn 30 next year.
Yeah I’ve done Sandgate before and I know it to be very fast. It’s where I got my current PB. Haven’t done Kedron before; not sure about that climb. Personally I’m less concerned about congestion than I am about the possibility of having someone I might be able to draft off of or use for pacing near the front of the pack.
I was planning on giving it a go tomorrow, so maybe I’ll see you at Kedron! Have been training with that Train As One app for a few weeks now. It’s been an interesting change to how I train, so I’ll see how it does in terms of results.
Hahaha I've got .... 1. Took my kid last week for the first time.
Nice! Is kiddo into running or was it just a casual family outing?
Both of my sons run. We are usually doing some other sport on Saturday morning. This time of year, the younger one has little athletes. He was sick last week, so I took the other one to Parkrun. He managed 5km in under 30 minutes. It was the first time he'd run 5km. I really had to push him on that last kilometer, but we were both really proud of his effort.
Wow sub-30 on his first 5k is awesome! Well done!
