I did a quite quick-paced 3.5 mile warm-up before ParkRun yesterday, making the total just shy of 7 miles. ParkRun itself was OK, I was held up at the start and got quicker towards the end.
First Rule of ParkRun - there is is always someone slower, just in front of you, who stands still for a couple of seconds after the "gun". If you stand at the front then the First Rule will become true for the racing snake behind you.

It's the discipline of posting progress updates here that's the extra push I need some days to actually get on the treadmill and make some progress when it would be far easier not to bother!

I've gone from 33 to 28min for my local parkrun. Since Christmas. I have a goal of 25min (so 5min km). Not really bothered about being much faster than that, or doing much longer distances. Might try to do a couple of 7-9km runs mid week, then just blast parkrun on a Saturday. I'd just like to be a bit fitter, and maybe a bit less tubby.
Last time, 2.5m.
Today, 2.7m (29mins). Again, it was reasonably easy - I wasn't struggling at the end, and upped the speed to 7mph for the last few mins.
5k in 30mins is the target and I still reckon that's very do-able from here.
i can recommend a very cheap massage gun from amazon to alleviate the pain between runs
Which is barely a warm-up for some of you, but I was struggling with 3mins just a few weeks ago.
The discipline of the c25k routine and the encouragement here is definitely working. I even looked at where the local park runs are!

Shit’s getting easier. I’m thoroughly enjoying my runs now. Haven’t missed a weekday since I started on 6 Jan.
I've done the 'usual' running stretched and stuff you see on running sites, ice at nighttime, roller.
Seem to be constantly running through this (for couple of years now) might have a few good weeks then some tiny bit of speed or hill work sets it off again and I have to take it right down. Can't sit down for more than 15 mins. Wondering if the rowing machine is not helping.
Just to add, I may be in denial, but suspect running is not the main cause of this- have started using a stand up desk at work now, but waiting for any effects.
Anyway, after a miracle cure- ideas appreciated. Thanks
5 runs this week. Start weight 6 Jan, 14st. Current weight 13st 3lbs.
