Full marathon done... taking that final 0.1 second off the average split was well worth the agony of the last 10-12k :).

New 6K PB today by 6 secs. Had really good focus today and wasn't going to let a PB evade me. Hopefully have a couple more PBs before the end of the season.

Thanks Sascha. I'm in good form at the moment so gonna have a go at 2k, 5k and 30 mins before the end of the season. These all look tough but possible. But hey, I turn 65 next week so all PBs are very welcome.

Thanks Stu and everyone else. To be honest i haven't been in PB form for the last few months. Was nursing a knee injury for a couple of months, lost a bit confidence for a while and no PBs since last June. But now I feel I'm ready to have a crack at a few more!

Managed another PB today at 5k although the magic 20 min mark remains tantalisingly out of reach. Plan was r26 with slightly lighter strokes but couldn't (or wouldn't) force the pace down in the 2nd and 3rd K. Happily I did manage to crank it up in last 1K. Very happy with another PB 😊

Managed another PB today at 5k although the magic 20 min mark remains tantalisingly out of reach. Plan was r26 with slightly lighter strokes but couldn't (or wouldn't) force the pace down in the 2nd and 3rd K. Happily I did manage to crank it up in last 1K. Very happy with another PB 😊

Well done Kerry. Looks like another three outings will see you safely under 20 on current trajectory. For most of us testing just once or twice a year that would take some time ... but for you I expect to see it in May. Best of luck! :D
