Yes my local park run is similar, gravel tracks, with steep inclines and so not the best for PBs. Soon as I get closer to my target will change to Poole park which is nice and flat.

Yes speed work is the key. Luckily I have a wood near me which has a lap measuring about 1.6km. Usually try and smash out a fast 1k, jog the next 0.6 and then repeat. Brilliant times there mate, hope I have the same longevity in my legs.

Only got into it 18 months ago. Love it now

Just done 10k,(51minutes) got back to Bogart hole Clough and Great Run Local were putting on a trial 5k (24 minutes) so did that as well.
Shattered now but shower and then out for the match, earned a beer or 2 this weekend.

Wow that’s a good effort!

Eating less crisps and drinking a bit less helps as well!

Yes diet is the key in all honesty. Just started swapping breakfast for a protein shake and can feel the difference already. The work trousers now look like they have not been painted on.

I have found with Park run getting out midweek and doing a bit of faster work, like a really quick 400mm, back to normal pace, another quick 400mm really helps when knocking time off.

Took a break of late from park runs, last one was the day before Southampton away, but determined to get sub 20 mins but that will take a bit of midweek training.

Speed work is what I need next.

I only eat Museli without added sugar.
