Thread: 10K Tomorrow

Tomorrow morning (sunday) at 10am is our local sports stadium yearly 10k race, well its called a race and some of the guys do race, low 30 minutes i think won it last year. I will be running with a couple of my mates and hopefully beat my time of 49 minutes which i did last year, please no laughing this was my first ever 10k and at the age of 37 i didnt think it was too bad considering i hadnt ran since being at school.I have got into running on the road and so far no knee,ankle or back pains so touch wood i hope to progress to half marathons next year.I was wondering who else here runs i know theres a few and what sort of times are you doing for 10ks and half marathons......ps iam a plodder and will never be that quick.........

I've been running for several years.

5k PB 20:25
10k PB 41:30
1/2 PB 1:43 (although I didn't do one this year and I'm faster)
marathon PB I have no idea b/c I've never run one not pacing someone. I've gone 4:07 with a client and could have gone sub 4 easy. Next year I'll probably shoot for a 3:40.

Anything under 50 mins for a 10k is perfectly respectable. Good luck!
