If we could find some way to combine.... I suspect BB will be well out of sight with his times wot start with a 2 LOL!

Kieren Jan 2007 10:23pm, 23 Jan 2007 0 posts	Quote Pin Kieren I didn't realise I didn't have the base till I did the marathon. Most of my training runs were every other day in 2006 & always fast & in the uncomfortable zone for just over 7 miles. I was constantly getting annoying injuries & ran less than 500 miles. This year I want to be more consistent & injury free. Tarange, I can't believe you only started running in July. Good times so far & now that you're in a route I think you'll amaze yourself with the progress you'll make this year. You'll probably get a big jump, then a plateau then another big jump in performance - at least that's the way I think it happens. I think BB will do amazingly well. The one time I ran with him he was really able to live in the uncomfortable zone (5k pace). He can judge a pace & he's really putting the hard work in with his training. I can't believe he's still making big improvements at the level he's at - it must mean there's plenty more to come.

KS, you're times are fast that 10k doesn't tally up. From your other times I think can be quicker. I think we have to find you a 10 course to PB on

I ran 45:xx for the first time in 2004 and have repeated that time to within a few seconds on several occasions since, but for whatever reason I never seem to get any faster. I think my heart isn't really in the shorter stuff LOL!
