pato1967 Sep 2007 2:25pm, 7 Sep 2007 6 posts	Quote Pin pato1967 Hi at the moment I am hovering just over the 21mins (21:13 and 21:09) being my last attempts just before the summer - at the moment I am concentrating on hills and distance training for the Macc half at the end of the month after this I will be turning my attention to getting faster at 5 and 10K - would be deliriously happy to go under 20mins for a 5K Monthly Alexandra park in Manc is the main race I use to test/time myself over 5K and I will probably start running this again after Macc half - only thing is official timing can be a "variable" - its a small enough race to measure youreslf accurately with a stopwatch

Homer Sep 2007 3:03pm, 7 Sep 2007 1,679 posts	Quote Pin Homer Right Chief No idea about jaws though - usually too busy not blowing chunks over the person at the end of the funnel.
fetcheveryone Sep 2007 3:27pm, 7 Sep 2007 333 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone No jaw buzz when running fast, but often need to sit under a tree post-run for 10 mins.
