Well you broke the 25minute mark which you'd said you were hoping to beat... so a big pat on the back!!!

Well going for 24, then 23 etc in training but by the next time I race I'd like a significant improvement. We'll see...

What are strides?

What next for this training program then? I'm keen to see athompsons PB is within five sec's of mine so next goal of 22/23 mins in common!

I've just been building up my long runs and doing some intervals where for the fast bit i'm running faster than goal pace.

sort of steady increase in speed, lengthening the stride - sort of bounding along a bit I imagine?! or you can just do it as fartlek where you simply pick up the pace a bit
