Tuesday Training Plan: Faster 5km 12 Week Training Plan

Last week I had the privilege to arrive in Wellington just prior to the weekly Waterfront 5km series. I was on a school holiday road-trip with my 9 year old daughter and our ferry was due to arrive at the scheduled start time. With an athlete competing in the event and keen to catch up with other friends at the event, although I wasn’t in a position to have a bit of a run as well. We turned up in time to see some scorching times with three runners coming in under 16 minutes!!! My PB is 16:20 and that was from about 25 years ago!!!!
