Hi. i just did a local flat 5k race this morning. Finished in 25m 07sec - that is off some regular easy or steady 45mins-1hr runs. No specific tempo or speed work yet. Have a marathon pb of 4.12 and a half pb of 1.48 (but both in 2011!). Am about to start marathon training for VLM. Would love to join this sub 4 club but it seems a long way from my 2011 time. Has anyone on here started their program with such a slow 5k time and come in under the 4 hour barrier? Thanks.

Hello Dude.
Happy New Year tout le monde. Started the year with 27 mins in the sea. Actually swam today rather than bobbing up and down in the surf. LSR tomorrow, 12 miles although no Garmin so will have to do a bit of guessing.

Felt really unfit in the sea today so there's no hiding the fact I have to do some proper swim training as well as marathon training. It's more tiring at the mo because I'm a bit nervous since I got so tumbled in the surf a couple of weeks ago. It's mucked up my feeling of calm. Like there is no calm when every now and again bloody huge waves appear out of nowhere to harsh my mellow.

Lovely way to start the year though.

May we all have lts of PBs in 2013!

I have had a rest day today, after 14 miles yestetday, legs feeling surprisingly good though!
Back on it tomorrow.
It seems a bit strange not eating lots of random Xmas treats......

Well done FRC for ur amazing time yesterday. Really well done. I'm going to try a little run tomorrow. Just let the missed ones go...

Dudemeister you Definitely fit on here

similar times to mine, cough. Also a While ago. Welcome! AH sympathise with sea thing. One surf in Australia I got mashed grazed and cut by unfortunate wave. Still now sometimes I get the wobbles b4 a really good wave and jump off! Time is the answer I reckon...

Welcome Dude. Although I am quicker than 25 for a 5k I did move my marathom pb from 4.12 to 3.52 in one go so yes it can be done. Its a great thread

FRC- Well done new you would sub 4

Lou- You are not unfit! Its all relative you know. Foe NORMAL people your schedule and targets would look mental!

Morning all. Must check my spelling before sending.

Scott have you entered any races yet.

WTF am I doing

02/01/2013 at 08:16

Morning everyone and happy new year! Hope you all had a fab xmas.

I started the year on a good note by actually going for a run however it was very rubbish, no doubt affected by the alcohol intake the evening before My mileage for last year was just under 1500, which I'm pretty pleased with but think it will be hard going to beat that this year with work etc. I am ecstatically happy about having no marathon to train for and think I might just enjoy myself this year
