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,

Alan PB! Well it was my first race. Not impressed with the course layout with wheelchairs bearing down on you from the opposite direction.

paulhalford It was windy and I'm not sure this revised course is the super-fast one I once thought it was. However, I always seem to be blaming the conditions or course. I thought I was fitter than ever before but this confirms I'm slower.

Sime good race, bit of a shambles at the start, warmed up when the sun came came out. Didn't really struggle, kept a fairly steady pace, not too sure about some of the distance markers, seemed a bit inconsistent. Pushed from 8k, but struggled a bit on the home straight, but a new 10k PB by 37 seconds.

smash I AM going to beat an hour, as I'm a much better runner now than I was in 2004, when I did my last 10k. Well, I did it! A bit busy on the first km, but that stopped me from going out too fast. Was averaging about 5:20/km for the first five, but then really started to feel it. Was hoping to go under 53, but 7 minutes off my PB isn't at all bad. And loads of points for everyone who bet on me (fanks y'all!) Quality medal, free Red Bull and a good crowd all added to it, but there should have been a cyclist leading the wheelchair athletes through all of us, and could HSBC not afford a goody bagg? But especially nice was the three-legged 10k world record being broken by two mental/brave and wonderful fellas! Seems that the runners made this a good race, because the organisation was a bit lacking.

Sweetie New PB (taken off Garmin) - really chuffed - took over a minute off previous time.

WildeRover All being equal, I should be inside 52:00 and maybe chasing 50:00. However, things won't be entirely equal - I will have only just got back from holiday in the states, where I am likely to stuff my face for 3 weeks solid and won't have run much in the time I'm away. Sub 52 is still on the cards - but that's about the limit, rather than chasing the sub 50 that I could possibly do over 10K. (One day I'll go sub 48:40, finally catching the 16 year old me from the Race Against Time, but that's for another race, another day). Time was OK overall. I have been struggling to get back any speed since holiday - another week back and it might have been sub 52, but never mind. Still a PB by 2 mins. The overall organisation was appalling. I know it is a charity run but £15 is not cheap and it is a capital city 10k, so things should have been better than this. The time of 52:47 is my time, not the official time. This is because, despite issuing chips, there was only a timing mat at the finish and not the start - times are based on gun to mat. This was not mentioned anywhere at all, but I heard that someone had found out about it when they emailed the organisers, others were caught surprised, unprepared to time themselves and consequently a bit annoyed......... So I did my own timing. Then we were off - then we came back for a false start!?! Then we were off again - sort of.......... One of the corporate teams (HSBC I am guessing) had a team of 70 all decked out in red t-shirts starting right near the front. Unfortunately among this there were at least 20 who were walking the 10k - there was no attempt at any time based arrangement of the field at all. In the end, from crossing the line to 1k I took 5:52 because of all the
