We don’t walk round?

Seriously mate it’s down to training, how often are you running a week? I run at least 3 plus other stuff.
Vary my runs regular from 5k to half marathon distances during the week, speed training intervals help also.
What weight are you? I’d guess after seeing you this morning you’re around 14/15 stone? I’m 11, makes a difference.
I only started 18 months or so ago, could run a bit before but not as the pace I do now, not for 30 years at least.

You’ll struggle to get times down running once a week mate, the park run is the one that’s NOT set in stone for me, Monday is always a gentle 3-5 miles, Wednesday 5-8 miles, Sunday can range between 8-21 depending on what I’m training for.
Weights down to 11 due to all the training.

Yep. Similar routine.
I try to do 2 - 4/5 miles in the week
And weekend park run and 10+ Miles.
And gym in between.
Not often I can get a full week like that as my work and mates are raging alcoholics.
