McGoohan Jan 2016 4:59pm, 2 Jan 2016 20,659 posts	Quote Pin McGoohan Good luck all. I suppose en route to the 30:00 barrier, there is another preliminary milestone at 31:00 (in fact 31:04) when you will break 10:00/mile. 31:05 gives 10:00/mile. 31:04 gives 9:59
DoricQuine Jan 2016 4:59pm, 2 Jan 2016 2,246 posts	Quote Pin DoricQuine Thanks LD I have run sub 30 in training but not in an officail race. There are not very many 5k races up here apart from parkrun and that is very dependant on the weather! Running 2.5k into a 40 mph headwind doesn't make for an easy PB!
