Welcome back to Project 20! Week 24 is done, and today’s time trial at Sandgate parkrun didn’t go as planned. I started strong with a 3:55 first kilometre, but by the second kilometre, the mental and physical challenge got the better of me.

Daily running and lingering recovery from COVID may still be impacting me, and I’m taking some time to reflect on how to proceed. My coach believes I’m capable of this, so I need to let that resonate as I consider the next steps—whether that’s another four-week cycle or a different approach.

Thanks for following along on this journey. Let’s see what’s next!

Welcome back to Project 20! Week 23, and we might finally be back on track. Friday’s track session was my best yet—absolutely smashed it! It was a huge confidence boost after a slow start earlier in the week.

Coach Carl has planned a time trial for next Saturday, with a potential sub-20 attempt set for December 21. I’m cautiously optimistic and excited to see how the time trial goes before locking in the date. Let’s keep this momentum going!

Welcome back to Project 20! Week 22, and what was supposed to be a 20-week project is still going strong thanks to COVID recovery. I'm inching closer to feeling “normal” again, and this week might mark a turning point. My Tuesday speed session showed a high heart rate for moderate paces, but Friday’s track session felt fast and solid.

I’m hoping one full week of “normal” training will confirm I’m ready to reassess the target date for hitting that sub-20 5k. Let’s see if we’re back on track soon!
