I just finished a 5.025km running that lasted about 0hh:24mm:8ss !

I am not 100% sure but this run should be my fastest or one of the fastest 5K runs. Today was different. The weather was on the very chilly side with 12C in the morning. And, I also took advice from toofasteddie ( don't want to tag him everyday :)) and changed my route. This was not a park run but was on the less busy road segment. The weather and the change in the route must have worked as I finished my 5K sub 25 minutes. What is good for my morale is the fact that I managed to complete a 5K yesterday and this was supposed to be a more relaxed jogging.

The running heart rate was also good relative to previous efforts as the maximum heart-rate clocked was 169 bpm. The pace was extremely good (4.48 min/km) relative to the other runs I completed recently. I am satisfied with today's run and looking forward to this week as I joined September 60 challenge on Strava. Let's see If I'm able to live up to this self-imposed challenge.

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

Well done on that run. I have a personal goal to run under 25 for 5k and I think I could do it in the right conditions. I'll keep pushing. Age is catching up, but I've still got something in me :)

Thanks. I am proud of myself for doing this tbh :P
I think you need 'right conditions' to achieve that target. I typically would not run this fast.

I think if I were doing parkrun on a flat course I would do it easily. Running with a crowd pushes you on. I really miss that experience.

you are on a totally different level than me. I aspire to do sub 5 min km at some point in the future. For now I struggle to get below 6 minutes per km. I'll keep at it though.

The pace is just to show off and calm/massage your ego 🤣 The key is to run consistently. I find that tougher.
