Fitness Journal - 24/11/2025

So this is hopefully going to be the first small entry of many on my fitness journal. My goal is to complete my transition from a 32 minute parkrunner to a 16 minute one. I have a PB of 17:08 but due to numerous issues over the year am currently just breaking 18 for the 3rd block (have run about 40 under 18).

So onto the journal.

So Monday 24th went pretty well. I did a 10 mile run in the morning, 2 miles recovery at lunch and my usual recovery and prehab / strength training. For me I had a sleep score of around 7 (based on feel) and my recovery was great, but then I a had only done a few long walks the day before.

Think that is it up for my first update, planning on expanding these as I go.
