I'm also training for a longer run - a 12 km in September. I have run it many times previously, including last year, so I know what to expect from the course. Hopefully I stay injury free in the lead up this year, since last year I went in right off the back of a calf strain and struggled (slower pace + hot day was tough). I have been consistently running Parkruns again for a couple of months since a break over the summer holidays and I find it helps a lot with motivation since it gives me a weekly target in a race-like environment.
