Did a HR controlled 4-mile run this morning. 9:27 pace, which was weird as f**k and average HR of 130. It's strange how much more enjoyable a run is when not going full pelt.
Did a slow 2.5 mile run yesterday morning with my girlfriend to get her back into it then did my steps session in the afternoon. 90 steps,
3 x 1 step Running
3 x 2 steps running
3 x 3 steps jumping....
No running today but went Sale water park and managed 4 large loops (2500 yards) which is my longest outdoor swim to date. ( all front crawl too) buzzing after it.
been doing some longer runs lately, got up to half marathon, but decided to use the rain and run quicker today, got 24.12 for 5k, any tips on getting the time down? will doing slower longer runs help? or should I look at some faster shorter routes?
There’s a set of stairs near where I live, 90 steps over 4 flights. I run up these 1 at a time x 3 reps. 2 at a time x 3 reps then finally 2 footed jump up them 3 at time x 3 reps, that hurts the most.I see you're on the cycling thread too. Intrigued as to what the steps routine is???
BTW - I went to school with a lad nicknamed Inchy - You're not a St Thomas Moore/St Greg's (Beswick) alumni are you?
Depends. I'd be doing slower runs towards double digit mileage once per week, plus a threshold session and an interval session. Any more miles I would do mostly at an easy pace. Definitely ignore anyone who suggests specific paces as through they would apply the same from one person to another.been doing some longer runs lately, got up to half marathon, but decided to use the rain and run quicker today, got 24.12 for 5k, any tips on getting the time down? will doing slower longer runs help? or should I look at some faster shorter routes?

Yes I went to St Thomas Moore...left in ‘85 you may know me, Shaun, or my younger brother Stuart.
Yes but my advice is similar to John Virgo's on Big Break;been doing some longer runs lately, got up to half marathon, but decided to use the rain and run quicker today, got 24.12 for 5k, any tips on getting the time down? will doing slower longer runs help? or should I look at some faster shorter routes?
