DQ I could try and help you although I'm probably not the best pacer, you should speak to Shondo.

Although people looking at my 5k PB might think this would be easy for me, I can't currently run so much as a mile and could do with rediscovering my running mojo. I'm in.

The elusive 30 minute 5k! I thought I might get a pb at parkrun last year but didn't even get within a minute of it (31.31), so first I'd like to pb, then get down to 31.00, then aim for the 30.00 so I'm in too. :)

No, I can't, RH. Could you set a parkrun to target, like it's a race. Put it in your race portfolio and make sure you go, even if it means an early start or a night in a Premier Inn. Depending where and when, one or two of us might be able to attend (any excuse for a Fetchie meet up :-))

I should do that Star - Bedford is easy to get to and doesn't involve an early start - and often involves superstar Fetchies - but it's the Saturday thing. There is usually too much else that needs doing.

But you're right, going to pick one towards the end of the month and target it like a race. It will go on the fridge calendar (today's job - find new calendar for the fridge!)
