It's easy to talk about it but a "British 5km or 30mins champs" is much needed IMO, and its something I've been thinking about for a while. Food for thought for perhaps next year..... I'd be very interested in this. There was a virtual 30 mins challenge, in 2021 IIRC, that had a fair amount of us d...

How much(approx) would it cost to put on a 5km/20min or 30min race in the UK? Dougie (Citroen) may be able to help here as he ran an event in Basingstoke for many years. Failing that, email Sam Blythe and ask him - he ran the Devon champs in Exeter up until Covid. I did organise an event back last ...

Yep - I have been there a few times. Not sure if I can be away from home long enough to make it worthwhile 2025 but it is close enough to Munich to spend time there. If only we could have a 30 minute race in the UK. Susan How much(approx) would it cost to put on a 5km/20min or 30min race in the UK?

There is the Starnberg 30mins going ahead next year on the 22nd of Feb.

I've read race reports from previous participants that it is a great event, so one to look out for.....

Cheers, more in there though.

Wasn't an actual concerted PR attempt, RPE 7/8?

That's a very promising sign if that wasn't an all out effort

Cheers, held 1.50/51 until the lat ten and pushed which does skew the RPE, but there is more certainly.

Cheers, more in there though. Wasn't an actual concerted PR attempt, RPE 7/8? A sub 1:48 for the last ten minutes suggests there definitely is more there, 8300m would be really shifting. For me personally I'm not trying to restrict the rate on the 30mins. I would like(eventually) to hit min R24 for...
