Running 10k

[Radio_Shack]

Just wanted to do an informal Poll on terbites who can run 10k without stopping and what your average or best time is for 10k.

For starters. I started running 10k about 6 years ago and got down to 52min recently. My goal is mid 40 minutes.

I don't often run exactly 10k but my regular route these past few months is about 11.5km which is close enough. My average speed is 4:49min/km and best pace was 4:32min/km. I started running 3 times a week in November last year, slowly building up my distance and speed.

I find using a track to do speed work once a week helps. If no track is available, the treadmill in the gym sort of works too for speed work if you can stand the boredom of running indoors. Also, I wear a light minimalistic shoe that enables me to run faster.

My best time to run 10k was about 40 years.
