I’ve got my wedding in about a year, so I’ve been pushing myself a lot.

That 5K was my first one in about 13 years. The last time I was running, I was way younger and about 40kg lighter. My best back then was around 30 minutes.

Do you think sub-25 is possible by December?

I’ll probably hit a plateau at some point, maybe even next week, so I’m mainly looking for advice on what I should be doing from here.

For context:

• I run about 2–3 times a week; usually ~2km 1–2 days, plus one hard parkrun on Saturday.
• After getting shin splints, I’ve probably been a bit overly cautious.
• I gym 4 days a week.
• I’m currently on a 600–800 calorie daily deficit.
