Managed a 5K at 6:20 per mile yesterday, aim is to do a 10K in under 40 minutes by the summer!
9th attempt to get in the London Marathon Ballot failed hopefully 10th time lucky - I didn’t want to do the virtual one it’s not the same to me.

That’s quick!
My aim is under 25mins for my 5k this year, I’m 90 seconds off it atm.

Thanks I have been running a lot more than like you the lunch hour is basically run hour now WFH has come in so the pace has been gradually dropping. 25 mins for a 5K is an excellent time you will get there soon!
Does anyone listen to podcasts or music whilst running? I basically only listen to podcasts would like to find an app that can play 30 minutes of podcasts then 5 minutes of music but yet to find one!
I’ve got it down from 33 mins last year when I got lured in by that “run 5, tag 5, donate 5” viral trend at the start of lockdown.
There’s a 3k loop that I’ve been doing as a speed run and I’ve got that down to 4’50s, I just need to go for longer!
Do you take your phone with you? If you have Spotify/Apple Music, select a playlist, then queue your podcast, then it will go back to the music when it finishes.
I do use my Garmin watch only once a week. The podcasts are always longer than 30 minutes, so ideally I would like an app to play this file for 30 minutes then the music for the next 5-10 even though the podcast hasn’t finished. I run faster with music but can’t listen to it the whole time - first world problems I know haha!
