YOUR PERFORMANCE RUNNER PROFILE
Here is exactly why your times have stopped moving and the 4 steps to fix it.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING
You are running every session at the same moderate effort. It feels productive. You are working, you are consistent. But your body has adapted to that effort. Moderate intensity every day accumulates fatigue without providing the specific stimulus your aerobic system needs to get faster. The fix is not running more. It is running differently.
YOUR ACTION PLAN
4 THINGS TO DO
THIS WEEK
Make your easy days actually easy
If you run 4 days a week, 3 of those should be genuinely easy at conversational pace. Most runners who are stuck are running all 4 days at 70 to 75% effort. That is too hard to recover from and too easy to create a training stimulus. Easy means easy: 6:30 to 7:30 per km for most people.
Add one quality session per week
One structured session per week is enough to start seeing improvement. A simple starting point: 6 x 800m at a comfortably hard effort (roughly your 5km race pace) with 60 seconds rest between each. That is it. One session. The rest of the week stays easy.
Do a time trial every 6 weeks
You cannot improve what you do not measure. Alternate between a 5km and a 10km time trial every 6 weeks. Run it on a flat route, fully rested, and record the time. Your training paces are built off these numbers and the alternating distances give you a clearer picture of both your speed and your endurance development.
Build your long run progressively
Your long run should increase by roughly 1km per week over a 4 to 6 week block, then drop back for a deload week before building again. If your long run has been the same distance for months, that is a sign your aerobic base has plateaued. Progressive overload applies to running just as it does to lifting.

I'M KEVIN.
THIS IS RESET.
I built RESET because I kept seeing the same thing. Consistent, motivated people genuinely putting in the work but getting nowhere because they had no structure. Every plan I build is personalised. It fits your schedule, your gym sessions, and your life. When things change, we adapt.
