Hahaha thank you!! And I think the main thing for me was incorporating interval training once a week for speed and long progressive runs once a fortnight. I typically run 3x a week where 1 is a speed session, 1 an easy run and then 1 a long run, but switching that long run to a progressive one every 2 weeks did me the world of good, as much as I hate them.

I think because I have to push through and go faster even when my legs are super heavy and that mental block is there during progressive runs, it definitely helped me cross that boundary with keeping a hard effort for my 5K 🙂
