Our county champs is in a month or two which I'm targeting for a real go at sub-19, quick course and a strong field as I'll need ll the help I can get. Will be interesting to see if running in the evening makes a difference as I've only ever done parkruns at 5K

Huntsman May 2016 2:50pm, 7 May 2016 3,790 posts	Quote Pin Huntsman Nice run Uyuni. 19:08 for me at Poole. Need to sort out the 3rd mile as drifting way off pace. Speed endurance needed.

chunkywizard Apr 2017 8:30am, 23 Apr 2017 4,274 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard Resurrecting this thread as I try to get below 19 again. I am committing to doing intervals every Wednesday until I manage it (being going a month or so). Last four attempts at parkrun have been 19:31, 19:18, 19:15, and 19:21 yesterday. Not sure I'm taking the right approach so open to ideas on best intervals, whether to try parkrun hard every week,tapering etc Over to you!

Rog T Apr 2017 9:21am, 23 Apr 2017 155 posts	Quote Pin Rog T i'll join you in the thread too as it's one of my short (hopefully) term goals. I've been strict with myself over getting the intervals and tempo quality workouts in lately whilst building up overall mileage slowly. Feeling better for it already. Going to try my first attempt of the year next weekend. Going to do my harder sessions of the week before Wednesday and do only easy running wed - fri. My favourite interval session at the moment is 6 x 3mins at 3-5k pace with 2 mins jog recovery between
chunkywizard Apr 2017 1:27pm, 23 Apr 2017 4,275 posts	Quote Pin chunkywizard Chris, that'll be none. I think I have the speed, but it's the endurance that gets me. Fine for the first 2K then I hit maximum sustainable HR and I slow. What strength work would you suggest?
