You can get into a nice rhythm … Once you’ve built up the miles in the legs then 10k is relatively easy believe it or not. 5k is pushing yourself as fast as you can and keeping that up for the lot… You’re never comfortable , in stride or breathing… While we’re still going for time in the 10k you’re not running to the same intensity… You hit a level you can sustain for the lot and you maintain it.

Right, this is how it’s shaping up group wise. My OCD is going overtime with 7 in the groups so I might change that up to 8 per group and do a bit of promoting etc up from the junior ranks. If that is the case then Intermediate B becomes Junior.

Forum legend @Tassotti has enough in the bank to retain his Senior status and will be upgraded to living legend if/when he checks back in again.

As you can see the communications on this event are as good as it is between the FFG government we have but I’ll be ironed out in the next while between myself and outgoing Administrator @caulifloweredneanderthal in the next while.
You have the whole month … So you can log various times right up to the last day of March
I’m really tempted to try do sub 52… A huge ask but I’ll see how the next couple if weeks go.
Ok guys.
I’ll order a pair of running shoes and a smart watch today.
I’ll be like a bat out of hell at the weekend.

Well if you get there, and I have no doubt that between your determination, will and the fact that you live on the side of a cliff that you can do it, you will be doing better than most of the division above you and would gain promotion.
@Fran comes ahead of me even though we had the same time, he’s smaller than me, lighter than me, ran downhill and with the prevailing wind to get his time. You couldn’t make it up.
I think sub 42 minutes would be beyond me in a month.
Last summer I got to 43:56 and that was my fastest 10km by far.
