Zeb Jun 2011 12:40pm, 7 Jun 2011 483 posts	Quote Pin Zeb Hello - can I join in now? I've got my 10k PB down from 59.08 to 56.26 a couple of months ago, and then down to 53.11 on Sunday. I'm not doing another 10k for quite a while, but sub 50 is my next big aim for it.

TripletDad Jun 2011 4:41pm, 7 Jun 2011 1,374 posts	Quote Pin TripletDad Can I join in too please? I've not done a 10k since 2009 and my time then was 51:47. I've got one coming up in July though so I could do with some advice on how to go sub 50 I have a 5 mile race tomorrow night which should be a good indicator of how I'm doing.

sprouty76 Jun 2011 5:12pm, 7 Jun 2011 413 posts	Quote Pin sprouty76 Welcome TD - to be honest, I don't have a lot of advice as such other than plenty of regular running. I've not done much (if any) speedwork recently, although I try and go flat out at a parkrun once a month or so. Right now I'm training so much (both running and biking) it feels like my legs are made of lead, yet I still rattled off a 25 second pb at the parkrun on Saturday - it's all just kind of happening naturally at the moment.
TripletDad Jun 2011 5:00pm, 9 Jun 2011 1,387 posts	Quote Pin TripletDad Well I did my 5 mile race last night in 41:21 in the end, first and last miles were sub 7:30 but the middle three were very hilly and much slower with a 9:50 for mile 4 which was basically uphill all the way. On a flatter course I reckon I would have been close to 40 minutes so I guess I just need to give a 10k a go and see how I get on.
RichHL Jun 2011 5:17pm, 9 Jun 2011 509 posts	Quote Pin RichHL I did 52:20 first time out and that was before I really started pushing my training harder. I need a 10k race in October or early November in which to go sub-50 and which will act as a good tune-up for the St Neots Half. Any suggestions?
