  • Project 20 - Week 16 Update | New PB and Final Push for Sub 20 Minute 5K!
    Sep 29 2024

    Welcome back to Project 20! Week 16 is done, and I hit a new PB for my 5k parkrun! My watch recorded 20:11, while the official parkrun time was 20:14—both beating my previous PB of 20:19 from two and a half years ago.

    This has given me the confidence boost I needed as we head into the final four weeks. I’m feeling more motivated than ever to dial in my training, nutrition, and focus. Those last 14 seconds will be tough, but I’m ready to put in the work to make it happen!

  • Project 20 - Week 15 Update | From Slow Start to Personal Bests!
    Sep 23 2024

    Welcome back to Project 20! Week 15 is done, and it’s been a rollercoaster. It started off with a tough speed session where I couldn’t hit my target pace, but by Friday, things turned around completely. I hit my fastest times ever at multiple distances during a track session, which felt amazing!

    I’m feeling tired, but the progress is there. This week, it's back to basic 8km runs before hitting the gas pedal again at parkrun on Saturday to check my progress.

    Five weeks to go! Let’s see how it all unfolds.

  • Project 20 - Week 14 Update | Feeling Faster and Pushing Through the Hard Sessions
    Sep 16 2024

    Welcome back to Project 20! Week 14 is done, and it’s been another great week! I’m definitely getting faster, and I’ve really come to understand that the more effort I put into these sessions, the more I get out of them.

    Speed sessions are going well, but hills... they’re the worst! Still, they’re helping build strength and endurance, so I’m leaning into them. Six weeks to go, and we’re two weeks away from another time trial. I’m thinking about testing my ability to hold a 3:55-3:58 pace for as long as possible as a personal indicator of progress.

    Things are coming together, but there's still work to do! Let’s see how it unfolds.
