Well done FF. I have three weeks left. I have played a few jokers and one week did three!  I had a 10K on the Sunday that week. But mostly happy I've been quite committed to it so far. It'll be interesting to see what 5K time I can get in the end, Ive already taken 35 seconds off my Project Joker start time but also I ran 7m20s pace for some 800 intervals this week and I can't imagine holding anywhere near that for 5K... which I'd need to in order to be much faster again (7m34s pace for most recent fastest 5K). We'll see. |

Good luck Roo, it's surprising what you can hold on to if you're 'racing' and someone to chase in parkrun.

That's my tempo run done for this week. I think that's my best tempo run for this PJ attempt.

Nice one FF. I'm done. I just replaced this week's intervals with hill sprints but have played an Ace anyway as I feel they were "in the spirit" and this week's tempo will be my fast 5K attempt at parkrun on Saturday. Only 5 Jokers played in total and one of them could have been an Ace really because I did two 10K races in the same week. I started at 24.10 but have run a 23.35 since as I replaced a couple of tempos with fast 5k efforts anyway. I'm hoping I can get under 23.35 on Saturday but we shall see. |

I'm sure hill sprints count as intervals Roo. Excellent progress with your 5k's and good luck Saturday. |

Thanks FF. The hill sprints didn't feel like all that much at the time but I think I'll feel them tomorrow!

Good work F F and Roo. I'm ashamed to say that this round of project jokering is not going very well so far for me. Way too many jokers played and not a single week of all aces. Despite way too much work, I'm going to see it through to the end, see what happens and go straight on and do another. |

It certainly sounds like stuff is getting in the way of your training Wezza. Good for you seeing it through and wanting to give it another go. |

Yep. Just work really, FF. Pleased to be able to sneak out for the odd one now and again. In the last I'd have not done any and just sulked 😃
