Blimey. Yes you should be allowed to submit that. A 5k only time could be around 18 minutes and I aint competing with that. You can bugger off to the Super League now.I checked what my time was for the first 5k of the half marathon and it was 20:48. Am I allowed to enter that for the 5k?

I've never actually raced a 5k so it turns out that this is my PB by default!
Well done, what was your time thoughKnocked 1 minute 39 seconds off my best recorded 5K time this morning. I have no idea how I managed that but well pleased.
Went to tatton park this morning but weren’t letting cyclists in. Well done.Thanks mate, failed my late fitness test, but decided I would look a right twat getting back in the van and going home empty handed. Happy to get that time in the circumstances. View attachment 15034

Lots of pram runners going towards the race as well, I mean when is taking the little uns out in the buggy towards a load of runners ever not a great ideaWent to tatton park this morning but weren’t letting cyclists in. Well done.
I went the other way.You've made the school boy error of doing too much too soon. A cautious approach is to build up weekly mileage by about 10% per week to avoid injury. This is not possible when starting from nothing so you should try running no more than about a mile every other day. As a cyclist you are particularly liable to injury because you have the cardiovascular fitness but not the leg strength. Cycling is non weight bearing and you may lack bone density. Running strengthens bones. Think weeks to strengthen muscle, months to strengthen ligaments and years to strengthen bones.
I was a first and foremost a cyclist commuting 5000 miles a year and competing in time trials. A goal was to beat the hour for 25 mile TT. One winter I took up running to improve fitness. I too struggled to run and had niggling injuries, despite also playing football regularly at the time. But I persevered and developed running fitness.
Eventually I stopped cycle time trialling and took up marathon running instead!
