Thats similar stats to me on the slow runs. I average 10 min miles when trying to keep heart rate down.Tried this running with my heart rate between 130-140, average pace was 10.2 mins per mile. First time I've ever done it and had to walk up some of the hills to keep the HR below 140. Didn't feel natural but was obviously a lot easier. Usually run at around 8 mins per mile so was quite a bit slower. Is it likely that my speed will start to increase over time or am I stuck at this pace forever? Do people mix it up with a weekly faster run?
I get around 7 mins 30 on average when doing 3 or 4 mile normal paced runs. I tend to do about 3 longer slow paced runs, a quick 3 mile and a HIIT session. I’ve been getting sub 7 mins 10 when pushing myself for the 3 mile runs so I believe the slower runs are helping my pace

Can’t keep up with this thread.
many mention/discussions over when park runs *may* resume?
Funny one isn’t it...gyms back open (and pools) and although it’s outdoors there’s still that congregation...
I’ve seen a few Running on the route for the park run near me.
agreed if parks are allowed open and your able to go into shops where multiple people are park runs need to be back on

Yes you will speed up over time, stick with it and it works,
Do this for a couple of months then try a fast run, you will notice the difference!

I buy spot plasters in bulk!Any tips for stopping joggers nipple? I smother vaseline over them, but are still red raw.

The usual advice is to aim for 80% of your total weekly mileage at that slow, 'conversational' pace. For the other 20%, you could consider doing some speed work such as a threshold run and an interval session. But even for these, I would always warm up at a slower pace for a couple of miles or so.Tried this running with my heart rate between 130-140, average pace was 10.2 mins per mile.

My local at Stretford gets 700 plus down and Heaton Park gets even bigger numbers.
Some 10k races have restarted sending runners off in waves of 10 ,

Yep I often do the Stretford Park run...everyone is literally tightly packed together like sardines at the start, but waves may be the answer (going off average finishing times perhaps). The point of a park run is the social side though...you can run a 5k anytime you want but there's a reason they're popular.
Yes I like that quick finish on the track.I guess with waves you wouldnt want volunteers being there all morningYep I often do the Stretford Park run...everyone is literally tightly packed together like sardines at the start, but waves may be the answer (going off average finishing times perhaps).

You'd have to hope it was self policed. Emails before hand etc
Tough one really and, again, unlike the gyms (and pools) and pretty much all outdoor sports this is still on the back burner. However, everyone is so close to one another at the start of the race...I'm sure there's a 30% impregnation rate post park run.
I'm up in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull for a couple of weeks. I managed a 10k on Sunday, around a small lake and 7k yesterday to Tobermory Lighthouse. I went out at 7:30am this morning and ran 14 miles, mainly along a single track road, around a castle, back to Tobermory, on to Aros Park, and back along the coastal path. Elevation gain was 494 metres.
I'm pretty tired now, so will take a day off tomorrow. Stunning scenery though, which makes the running very pleasant. This was my fourth half marathon distance since lockdown, and also my fourth in my 59 years.

The HR training has lowered my resting HR to 55 from 65 in 4 weeks.
I'm also comfortably able to control my HR in the aerobic zone for a full 30-45 minute session now.
It defo works.

Tried this properly for the 1st time this morning. Did 4 miles with an avg HR of 134 (target max is 135) in 39:05/9:44 pace. Had to keep it to a flat route as I would have had to walk if there was any elevation. It felt so slow and I had to keep checking myself not to go too fast. By way of contrast, my PB for 5k was at 7:28 pace.
It felt really comfortable as I've been having a few niggles of late - enjoyable too. Fingers crossed no reaction tomorrow with a 10k planned and a longer run at the weekend.

I definitely have to "trundle" rather than "run" when doing HR training.
Probably looks fucking ridiculous to any passer by tbf :)
