Getting faster as you get older is no mean feat.
Not spending 2-3 hours in a car every day is a big help. I’m eating too much shite at the moment but have probably never been healthier due to being at home more.

Great stuff mate
By the way, in terms of route today I decided that I’d use a country road that’s about 1km from me. It would avoid waiting at roundabouts, footpaths etc. The road stretches 1.5km and is flat as a pancake. It’s relatively narrow though, and had to run a little on the verge as there was a car on my arse at one stage. So up, down, up, down a bit. It was mentally trickier than just running a 5km loop I felt, but in fairness the only places I probably lost a second or two was on turning around (wide load 
)
I was just about to say, you picked a lovely flat route … sometimes even going down hill, while handy on the lungs, can throw you out of rhythm
I live at sea level mate, everything within a 5km radius is flat. I went out to Blackrock for the 10km last month as there’s a small drag out to there
Not yet, mate. Psyching myself up here

Hanging my head in shame here, couldn’t break 25 mins. But that’s all I had. Heart was coming out of my chest. Fair play to the rest of ye, you’d miss being in an actual race and feeding off of others. No excuses though, no up hill, nearly all with the wind, perfect conditions.

Looked at your splits. You went out way too hard. I know you know this. You did well to hold on. Pace it better, and you are easily sub 25.
