Right so, just go out and run. Got it.
What Iāve found since joining TFK Strava group is that Iām loathe to let my running role models like @fenwaypark and @Fran down. So what I do when I blow up, get a cramp or just abandon a run in a fit of pique is give it some pissy title. In this way, I pretend I was doing intervals and fully intended to settle into a walk. For example, ā2.5km run at 5ā20 followed by intervals: 400m running & 200m walkingā.

And you managed to burn less calories running at a faster pace 
Great pace
I did that for the first time last night, before that it was always āafternoon/morning/evening runā. I feel now that Iāve reached a level where I can individually title each run to make it look like Iām real serious about my fitness

Iāve lost a few pounds this month and updated the app so thatās why that is. Donāt think Strava is anyway accurate for calories anyway.
running anywhere near arthur griffith would do wonders for anyones pace
Haha, thatās the good side.
If you paced it better, you would have gone quicker. That comes with racing.
Ah yeah, donāt generally do 5kmās. What would your advice be. Would love to get under the 21 mins.
You will easily do that. Do some interval training and a tempo once a week.

Fuckin hell.
Felt much better tonight, was a perfect night for running which helped. Was just one other guy and myself and decided after 7k that weād keep going and do 10k. I was hanging on last week but was setting the pace tonight as he had tired legs.

What direction do ye run that route?
I couldnāt keep up with you!
Started at the estate just below the Russian embassy on Orwell Road and headed up towards Churchtown. Climbing for the first K or so. The paths are narrow in places and need to cross over a couple of times. It was grand tonight as it was quiet and no traffic but would be a bit dodgy if it was any busier. The section down Braemor Road is great, wide paths and downhill. Loop is just over 3K. Last week was first week Iād ran it. Think Iād prefer the loop Iāve been doing around Rathfarnham. Definitely safer if there was traffic about.
