I absolutely love reading stuff like this, well bloody done.Wish I'd discovered this thread earlier.
Decided with a group of mates that I'd do 1000km in a year challenge with them. I've got a 1 year old son with another on the way and was far too heavy - decided I needed to make a change. I've managed to lose just under 20kg so far. Have another 10kg I'd like to lose but that's very much a work in progress.
Up to 823km for the year. Consistency has been mostly good although struggling a bit with the colder weather - was down to 2c this morning when I left. My stock run is roughly 15km a run.
Speed has always been my issue - my slow HR type runs are roughly 6:20-6:30 (averaging 150-155 HR), have just struggled to increase speed in a significant way.
Did have a fantastic run this morning, smashed out 15km and broke every PR milestone from 1km to 15km. Managed a 5:43 pace which is absolutely my quickest.
Just got to keep working away at it I guess. I will say, it's changed my life for the better, as frustrating as I can find it.
I was in the same boot 4-5 years back... stick at it and more weight will come, and pace builds with consistency is all I can add
Are you following a plan? Have a coach? Just winging it?
