http://www.runningsponsorme.org/kinboshi£1,900 raised, thanks to a more than generous donation yesterday  Makes the effort and the pain on the day more than worthwhile.

3:30 is definitely doable. I'm just crap in the heat.
I'm also less 'tubbier' than I've ever been and plan on doing a few 10Ks and half-marathons over the next 12 months and breaking my PBs for them. Then I'll look for a winter marathon to do - and Ra won't be of any use then.
current pbs? |

current pbs? Not actually 100% on my 10k PB. Did 48mins on the hilly, crosd-country course, but not done a 'fast' 10k for a good while. Half marathon is about 1:38. But again, that was a while back. |

Yeah, Berlin is meant to be a fast one. If I do one at that time though, it'd probably be the Robin Hood one in Nottingham! Far easier to get to and no worries about accommodation  |

Off for a 10K run now before the Liverpool match.
Went out yesterday and rang alongside the Trent and did 10K in a comfortable 46 minutes. It's so much easier running on the flat than up bloody big hills. Still the run at the end of July is on a very hilly course, so I'm mixing it up in my training. Today, I'll include a few big hills. Oh joy...

10K again this morning. My legs were aching a bit this morning when I got up, but once I was running they were fine. Trying to work out a good schedule to train for the tr24 - but at the moment I'm just going to keep on running 10K as often as possible, and nearer the time double and triple up on the same day.

just how unrealistic would you say it is for me to target a 40 minute 10k this year? I need something to aim for but I'm thinking that may be too much. reckon I'll peak at about 42 but I'm only guessing really

No idea how fast you run. I think my target would be similar to that, but have friends who do sub-36, which I'd never be able to do unless I had a bike. |

I agree! Why set a target that you can easily reach when you can set one that's ridic - just my my marathon target  46.5m for the 10K = 7:29 min/mile pace 44m for the 10K = 7.05 min/mile pace 42m for the 10K = 6:45 min/mile pace 40m for the 10K = 6:26 min/mile pace So quite a big difference. I think the 44 minute mark will be around my best. Need to enter a few road 10Ks on flat courses to find out! |

Sigh, I'm already forgetting how hard London was in the heat and very close to entering the Robin Hood marathon. http://www.experianfestivalofrunning.co.uk/index.htm |
