That's quite a chunk off your 10K! Sub 40 is coming up.

So when are you going to join the Eh! Team for the CTC challenges?

If your times aren't good enough for us now,
our times won't be good enough for you later. :lol:

Comparing times is too hard anyway... there is just too much natural variation. It is better to compare suffering; anyone who give everything qualifies.

PB - 6K in 22:17.2 (1:51.4 / 500M). Old PB was 22:45 so pretty happy with that improvement.
If you don't try, you will never know how bad you suck.

Nice, I wish I could get 1/2 a minute off my 6k time (or better from my 2k! :P )
Good work!

Nice work! You mean the weights in "the yard"? :wink:

Planning on BIRC this year?

And pV8, Trading some weight for Pace? Well done! B)
Did you use a similar rate and pacing strategy?
Erg on,
