Getting down about pace

Been back to running since May after a few years off for babies/ill health. I’m 39 with about 10kg to lose (have lost 10kg). Started with couch to 5k, built up to comfortable but very slow 10K. Running 20-30km per week. In general loving it but getting down about my pace. Currently around 715-8mins/km and am struggling to get any faster. I’m losing weight and doing tempo/hill sessions but flat out pace for me is a gentle jog for most people! Husband went out for his first run in years yesterday and did a 5k in 25 mins which has really got me down as after months of working hard at it I’m still at snails pace. Any words of advice?!

I really like Lottie Murphy. This is the paid version because she also does small zoom classes you can book through it - maybe that would work for you? She's got lots of videos on her free youtube channel too. lottiemurphypilates.com/catalog

Thanks Chocolate I haven’t seen that. Martini I’ve been using her free ones and struggling with a lot of them! Must investigate the small group option! Thank you.
