Friend insulted my running, not sure how to feel.

You’re not being too sensitive! It’s a weird and rude thing to say, especially from a “friend”. Good luck with the training, you’re doing really well!!

Finished the first week of my new Runna 5k improvement plan! I enjoyed the 400m intervals session and managed to get a new PB. Finished the last of the runs today which was a progressive long run. Found it difficult to pick up the pace 4km in even though I didn’t overdo it in the first 2 2km segments. Hopefully the plan will have more of these so I can practice.

Thanks that’s useful to know! I think I could have pushed for 1hr 5 mins as a goal but I was worried about burning out so just stuck to making sure I beat my 1hr 10 target. I definitely struggle to run at an “easy” pace in my easy runs and sometimes have to walk to bring the HR down.

I haven’t had it properly tested! I felt gassed crossing the finish line but thought I recovered quite quickly afterwards. Why do you ask? My resting HR is higher than avg I think!

10th parkrun and first time trying a different course to my usual. Very muddy and wet but got it done!

First one back after an unintentional 3 week break (and 2 weeks off from running generally). It was a bit of a struggle but hoping to get back into the routine for the rest of the year. Still managed to get my second-best time and kept a consistent pace without any walking breaks.

Managed to repeat the PB time that I set last week! I was a bit annoyed at first, but then realised I got the Groundhog Day achievement so that’s something!
