5k ParkRun

A while since I've updated now, but training has been great over the last few weeks. No massive weight losses to speak about, slowly dropping and now at 69.5kg but running has been the main objective and I've put on some more muscle according to Boditrax, I've been working on building more leg muscle to help with the running and now doing 130Kg leg presses.

Today though, I completed my end of year objective of a 5k race. Really pleased with the result of 25:04 which smashed my target. It was a faster time than that as well, but starting in the middle of the pack it was a long time and shuffle from the starting order to actually run. That gave me an actual running time of 24:50!

Parkrun Brighton & Hove were very welcoming, and I was the only new runner that week so had a briefing all to myself. The race itself was great, I started near the 24min pacer and kept with him or kept him in sight all the way around. Was hard going towards the end considering the pace I ran but I'm sure that will become easier. Certainly looking forward to the next one.
