Simba and I are in a 5k fun run on sunday
for various reasons I haven't run over the summer, last Friday I staggered through 3k. Tomorrow I will attempt 4, and Friday 5k. I don't think we are going to get a PB!

The focus is "fun" in your post so speed not essential! For me finishing any sort of run would be a bonus so I take my hat off to you that you are proposing to make the start line let alone finish!!

I'd be more than happy to walk it, we'd still beat the pensioners and the five year olds
Simba on the other hand has a competitive streak! We have done this run every year since he came home, it's one of our traditions. He'll be pushing me round on a Zimmer frame in 20 years!
It's an easy route in the park, no hills.
Unfortunately we are also entered in the city fun run, also 5k, on 3 October, that has a killer hill at the 4k point

you need a mantra for the 3rd October Head down & repeat "this is NOT a hill, this is NOT a hill, this NOT a hill etc " and before you know if you will have nailed it ! Still you'll complete faster than those at home Yoir zimmer man image has made me chuckle out loud  |

Staggered through a 5k on treadmill, three minutes outside PB time, we might just match it,

Nope, thank you
He now of course has his sights set on smashing the PB at the next fun run on 3 October.
I think he wants to be the next Mo Farah! He has become very interested in athletics over the summer, hoping to get him into the local club. Instead of going to London to see a musical next year for his birthday we are going to the Anniversay Games
