I'm ok cheers. Training is a bit on and off but battling on. Took a break from fetch, but I thought I'd pop back for a bit.

Much happening?

Usual stuff for me, training on and off, need to focus on quality sessions (which is even harder in the current time with no real end goal) and work on the diet :)

Anyone else doing the EA virtual 5k? Not that it will be an 18 min attempt for me, I reckon I might be around the 19 minute mark. It's something to do anyway.

Still can't imagine trying to run an even semi representative 5k on streets in training.

Has anyone done something close to their best (or what they'd expect to run in a race now) during lockdown?

I did a half decent mile spr but other than that my times have been disappointing. I ran a sub 17 5k in February this year and this week did an 18.10 😱

Agree entirely and I'm epically unfit anyway as I learnt this week at the first club session in months. I'm just viewing it as something to do and a marker for subsequent improvements as/when I head into the autumn and back into training.

SPR - I did a 17:56 5k solo on the streets. My PB from last year at Battersea Park is 17:44 so not too far off.

I did 18:00 for the BMAF virtual relays. I was thinking that I might sign-up for the EA one too. Defo will now...
