I have a similar goal. My parkrun time this morning was 24:54. I think my best last year was in the 23s. I am going to try just one interval run mid week, parkrun as a hard weekly run then every else easy zone 2 including a Sunday longer run.

Really similar to my own strategy, I am tempted to try out the easier runs and try to gain with a less is more approach.....
I have so slow my longer run down to what feels like walking pace sometimes to maintain zone 2 heart rate. It is so frustrating, progress is so slow. but it might be what I need as l get older.
