Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Count me it too please. I'd like to think I can achieve this at some point. I'm mainly concentrating on 5k's at the moment as I too want a sub 20 but I will be doing a few 10ks along the way.

No. I did the half and the 10k there a few years back and I'm not keen on the course. I have a 10k coming up on Monday in Gloucester.

I love the course but is my stamping ground and know it like the back of my hand so may make a difference.

So is sub 42 the target for Monday?

No I'm a fair bit off sub 42 pace just yet. The last 10k I did in March was 7:03 pace and that was hillier than I think this one will be so I may shave a little off but not a lot

Depending on how training goes, FR, I might try that too.

Been a bit off form and miserable about running lately. Mahoosive race nerve issues have been bugging me too. So, I was quite pleased to run Breckland 10k in 44:05, during which I just wanted to enjoy, run hard but within myself and remember that racing can be fun.

Feeling much happier after that one and back in love with this daft sport. :)

so do we think that sub 20 is needed for this? or vice versa? Both feel a bit of a big ask. I like AlanR's plan, well, like is a bit of a strong word. Need to find a 10k before mid July that's nice and flat.

I'm feeling far from fast though. Parkrun on Saturday lined up, but I'm still a bit in recovery from a long race on Sunday, so while I'll go at it I'm not sure how speedy I'll be.

what are your taregt races?

I may hang around in hope too, not sure how close to my 43:58 I could get to right now but getting faster over short distances is the focus for summer, with a view to improving my 1:35:02 1/2 time in autumn.

6:45s though eh? Crikers. I'm going to have a look at that training plan you posted.
