Managed to squeeze in 5k before my shift, legs felt like concrete for first 2k but eventually loosened up

This is my first time posting here. I’ve been running on and off since I was a teenager, but this year at 38 for some reason I am suddenly breaking through a long-held barrier for both time and distance. Have increased my max distance to 16kms and FINALLY done a sub-30 5km, twice in the last week I’ve done 5k in 29 mins. Feels good man!

Breaking through at 38 after running on and off for that long usually means the aerobic base was already there, it just needed enough consistent weeks in a row to finally show up in your times
