Four words out of five's not bad...
2 years ago
I dropped down to a walk for a couple of minutes after 20, and thus had to go at a rare old pelt for the last 1500 metres to bring it in on exactly 30 minutes to the second. If you’d asked me at the moment I finished, I’d have said “ABSOLUTELY NOT WORTH IT”, but that’s probably just because I was a couple of weeks short of being ready to do it. Give it a fortnight and I’ll probably do it again at a flat pace and come out thoroughly satisfied by the experience. It’s worth doing.
A little bit pear-shaped

Been battling with a new pair of running shoes for the last few weeks, and I’m not sure yet that I’m going to beat them. A really bad blister on the back of the heel put me virtually out of action for most of a week, and I’ve come back decidedly sluggish. The shoes now seem to be mounting a concentrated attack on my little toes. I’m starting to think they may have been a bad buy. A thousand curses on New Balance for dropping the model that I’d become utterly comfortable with!
Still, no hurry. Get back to where I was and then move on from there!

Seems like a nice round number to shoot at – so I’ve decided to close in on it from all directions. On the one hand, gently ramping up the speed that I can run 5k at (have got it down from 40 minutes to just below 35 in the last three to four weeks); on the other hand, gently ramping up the length of time I can run the required pace (last attempt I got through 10 minutes at 10.1kph with the treadmill on a bit of an incline, so I suspect I could stick it out for 15 on the flat). All being well, the two lines of attack will meet in the middle sometime in August if not earlier.
