I'm just trying to mix up my runs in hope it gives me improvement. I want to be able to run longer distances at sub-5min/km, so doing that for short stretches ought to get my legs working. But then I also need stamina and longer runs may help with that. My friend has done serious competing, so I take his advice on what should help. It is tempting to join a club where I might get some coaching. There is talk of setting one up in the village.
Our garden strawberries have finished for now, but still got a few others. Have to enjoy them whilst they last.
