Oh… and pleas be gentle

I challenge you to run a sub 48.30 10k by the end of September - I looked at your PB and sub 50 wouldn't be challengeing enough, I think 2 mins 30 improvement over a few months should be achievable!

How about it?

Challenge accepted. I've got 3 10k coming up over the next few months so will give it a go.

It was a fair challenge, if you try and dictate the terms you takes your chances

Care to join me in the sub 6 minute mile club (or failures thereof) by next July?

*Hrun* · #**666** 11th Jun 09, 07:09 PM

No thanks. Long and slow is my preference.

I am actually getting less and less interested in my pace. I just like the me time running gives me

*Hrun* · #**667** 11th Jun 09, 07:11 PM

And you misquoted me. It was your own fault for trying to dictate the terms of the challenge

Well yes, seeing as I am never likely to actually run a one mile race, I actually meant things like 5k and a weird 7k I might be entering. I had no idea Simkiss was so evil

Anyway, both the challenge and your tone suggest that the challenge in itself is some kind of punishment.

I'm sure trying to achieve it will be

tone is so difficult in text. I meant it in good humour

Its the 25th June - I thought it probably would be as that is on the Sphinx webby and they are hosting it!

Annoying as we are supposed to marshal a club race that evening so will not be at that one.

There is also this one Sara - I think you will like as its beautiful park/trails/tracks - (Runners World link) LINKY.

That sound really nice SB i think i will do that one! Not far either and multiterrain- love it!

Can I change my challenge please Steve? I ran my first 10K last night in 66 mins and my challenege was to do it in 65 I think?

hovis · #**674** 15th Jun 09, 05:10 PM

seems like a good idea,

but if you dont know anyone on here how can you challenge or be challenged?

Are you looking for a sub 60 challenge there?

What type of running do you like? Are you looking to improve your 5k time or run longer distances? I see you belong to a club, are you racing regularly?
