parkrun PB and look ahead

So this weekend just gone I grabbed another PB with 17:23 at my local event, crazy I hadn't run a sub 18 in 8 months at the start of November and now I am getting towards the low 17 minutes. As someone who always struggles with their weight I am still amazed at the progress I have made and have recently started wearing extra small clothes, not bad considering I used to be XXXL. 


This weekend I have the joy of pacing one of my athletes at parkrun as I am racing a 10k on the Sunday. Annoyingly the weather forecast is changing from still and cold to warmer and windy but it will be the same conditions for everyone. I set my PB on this course last year and it is quick but on the prom so the wind will determine if I get a PB or not this year, all I can do is run my best race. 

I approach all races with a positive mindset and I am in such good form that I could easily bag a PB and maybe a top 10 finish. My weight is in a great place and I have been sleeping well, and my diet is the cleanest it has ever been. 

I am looking for more people to coach, at the moment for free, so please get in touch if you would like some assistance.

January 2025 Progress

I am covering January a little early because we have just had the last parkrun of January so it is a good time to asses my progress against my time based goals, even if the progress goals could be better judged at the end of the month. parkrun times are all I have to go with regards to outcome goals and I have progressed my post illness PB from 17:35 to 17:21. I should also note that the 17:21 was run with the start as my 1k and then 1 mile PBs and just hanging on... yeah not great to do the first km in 16 minute flat pace according to Strava. There has also been much more consistency with my parkrun times, they are trending downwards with my times getting consistently quicker. I really feel I have a big PB in my legs and just need the competition, weather and pacing to be right.  The above times set me up nicely for my target Half Marathon and mean my predicted finish time, in comparable conditions, would be sub 80.... something for me to wrap my head around as my current PB (on a...
