I deleted my initial attempt because the retest would have fallen on the same date as a 133 mi bike marathon in the Alps so I waited over a week to enter project joker again. 22:11 is my initial test, looking to improve about 30-40 seconds until mid-July, aiming for around 7 m/m.

I did the 5x 800 session on Tuesday. The goal was to keep to 3:30 per rep (1:45 pretty lap) with 1 lap recovery jogs between efforts
1) 3:26
2) 3:28
3) 3:25
4) 3:30
5) 3:28

Felt hard but doable. Friday, I'll try some threshold running.

Excellent result Fenners-Reborn well done. Not the fastest of courses but a fast 5k. Project Joker certainly gives results.

To be fair Fenland Flier it would be faster if there were less people. I got really stressed at the start due to being too far back.

Fantastic time, Fenners-Reborn! Well done!

I did the first threshold session on Saturday, 3x 2000 m threshold intervals. It was quite warm, over 20Β°C when I started but the wind made it bearable. First week in the book, intervals, long run and threshold done.

Done! 5k time down from 34:22 to 31:52. Chuffed to get time under 32mins.

Now it’s time for 10k training. πŸ˜€
