Welcome back to Project 20! Week 12 is in the books, and it was a tough one. This week included a time trial, and things didn’t go as planned. Despite preparing well and feeling ready, sometimes optimal performance just doesn’t come on demand.
The goal was a 20:19 finish, but I struggled to hold pace. It was hotter than usual, which might have been a factor. After some reflection, we’ve decided to adjust the programming, adding an extra speed session to help push through. Eight weeks to go, and I’m still optimistic about reaching that sub-20 goal!

Welcome back to Project 20! Week 11 is complete, and I’m feeling some of that cumulative fatigue again. With strength, speed, and long runs close together, it's catching up to me, but I'm pushing through.
This week, we’re entering a bit of a down week, focusing on basic 8km runs each day and one strength session, leading up to a fast run on Saturday to check my progress. Looking forward to recharging and seeing where I stand!

Welcome back to Project 20! We’ve hit the halfway point! Week 10 is done, and I’m feeling great. The initial shock to the body from the speed and strength sessions is behind me, and everything is coming together.
This week, we added some weights to my strength training, and I’ve started calling my mid-week 13-14k run a “mid run.” The journey is progressing well, and I’m excited for the next 10 weeks as I push towards that sub-20 goal.

Welcome back to Project 20! 🎉 Week 9 is complete, and I’m feeling good as I near the halfway point of my 20-week program. With 11 weeks to go, I’ve got 40 seconds left to shave off my time to reach that sub-20-minute 5k goal. 💪
This week, we took a break from speed sessions to recover from the time trial, but there were still hills and strength training to keep the legs working. I’m feeling strong and ready to tackle the upcoming challenges.
Let’s see where this journey takes me as we push into the second half of the program! 🚀

Welcome back to Project 20! 🎉 Week 8 is complete, and it was a rest week with a time trial to cap it off. Coach Carl had me pace myself differently this time, aiming for a more controlled pace instead of my usual all-out approach. 🏃♂️
With Carl, Brenton, and Lisa pacing me, we hit around 20:37. It’s great progress, but I know there’s hard work ahead to shave off those remaining seconds over the next 12 weeks. 💪
Feeling positive and ready for the challenge! Let’s see where this journey takes me! 🚀

Well, it's day one of Project 20! This 20-week journey is my quest to break the 20-minute barrier for a parkrun. A couple of years ago, I managed to get my time down to 20:20, but recently I clocked in at 21 minutes. Realizing I needed some expert guidance, I reached out to Carl, my run coach, and asked if he could help me achieve my sub-20-minute goal. Today's episode marks the official launch of Project 20, and I'll be sharing regular updates on my progress over the next 20 weeks. Join me on this exciting adventure as I strive to reach new heights!
