    Are you training for anything in particular and what kinda distances do you focus on i presume more a higher distance runner like marathon?

    You seem to be in pretty good condition at the moment, what kind of 5K time are you looking for in the summer?
    I'm also training with that in mind, want to get a good winter base and then see what happens.
    Best of luck with the training.

    I have never ran a 5k on the track,im hoping to run under 15.30.My pb is 15.45 on the roads which was run on 2months of mileage and no workouts.
    I havn't set in stone what i will run in the summer.Wuld like to bring down my 800m and 1500m pb's which are 2.02 and 4.09
    Jan/Feb/March i will spen building my mileage up to a consistant 80miles per week.during this phase i will add tempo runs and hill workouts.
    In April i will make a decision wether to run track or go for a fast half marathon.
    The main thing is to stay injury free and get plenty of miles in the legs.
    Not sure when i will race,probably do a 10k middle of March(gona look up calendar now)

    This race will be over a new course, and the exact distance hasn't been confirmed yet either... No guarantee it will be a 4 miler.

    I can point you in the direction of a nice 5 miler on St. Patricks Day ;-)

    Not with at club at the moment but have been in the past.
    Been running 8 years or so but still not sure what my best distance is but hope to run a good marathon in the next couple of years.

    Tonight:11mile run 7min pace,seem to have my confidence back but need to control the miles and especially the pace.
    doing an easy session tommorow just to ease my way back.
    Plan is to introduce hills and tempos over the next few weeks.

    total:11miles

    Didnt have time to train today outdoors so hit the treadmill.
    last time im running on them bloddy things:mad:
    achilles and calfs very tight after.
    did some speed play but best thing i got from session was my treshold running was around the 14.8kph pace,not a happy bunny but gave me a shot of reality that im doing too much at the moment and need to bring the pace of my runs up and cut the junk miles out.

    total miles was 9
    covered 10k in 42.22 on the treadmill,ran outdoors a little after but was short for time as i was going out.
