Just a general thread about running. How’s your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc…

    5k race tommorow. I bit stressed because i didn’t train for this year race. I was focusing on long distances in the last 6 month and found the race one week ago. I’m aiming for 22:30min

      Good luck!

      Cool thing about 5Ks is that you can do one now and another one 2 weeks later.

      Still worth investing in a good 5K season though (I e. you do a lot more sprint intervals and threshold runs). I prefer long distances but spent the past 5 months or so solely focused on improving my 5K times and it’s making me a much better runner, including for long distances.

        I ended up achieving a new PR. I didn’t expect that. My time was 20:37
