@ACT-Crusader despite being slow, I like sprints too! HIlls, stairs, just wrecking myself!

I could have written this exact post word for word

alright you fucking sloths
new 10km world record. Cheptegei runs 10k in a sharp Park Run time of 26:11.
For those playing at home, that's basically running 100 x 15 second 100m sprints continuously.

Farken crazy eh!
Cant fathom that pace! Have a mate whos bit of a running machine and his casual jogs are 4min/km and then happily below mid 3.30s when the pace is on. Just looked and his last 10km was averaged at 3min 24s km pace which seems good but then you compare to above WR thats like about 1 min quicker per km and for every km.......fark

when i am running 4 min kms (for about 2k max) i feel like i am flying. I am not even sure i can sprint this guys pace any more
-

@mariner4life think I did a shade over a 4 min km but only for 1 km, anything over 1km and time drops dramatically.
I did 10.15 for 2400m on a track, which I was stoked with as I only had to get under 12.40 for my age (6 years ago)
-
My best ever km was 4:13 about 8 years ago - no way I'm getting close to that now.
Did my first 3km in ages the other night in 20:09 as I get back on the horse from heart procedure.
Would have started back in September but fucked my rib cartilage; like an idiot I volunteered to play THP in the last First Grade game of the year and got compressed about ten minutes in. Rest of the game wasn't as much fun as I hoped - haven't even been able to do a pull up in a month.

I’ve been doing short 500m splits for 3-4kms during lockdown at 5:30’km, 6:00’km, 5:00’km, 6:00’km, 4:30’km, 5:30’km, and I’m completely fucked with that. I can’t imagine running a 20 minute 5k (which is about as fast as I’ve ever been) let alone that kind of pace. What a fucking machine.
In good news, I was fucking near 87kgs when we got back from the beach on August 28, and weighed in at my health check on Tuesday at 82.4 kgs, so I should avoid a C grade and follow up appointment with the doctor.

That is insane. And I used to be able to run two miles in nine minutes flat.

Pfft, speed up slow pokes. Back in the day I had a training time of 52s for 400m and 1:58 for 800m. Best racing times were unfortunately a tad slower at 58 and 2:00.
Of course the day was around 96 when I was 17 and I probably weighed sub 70kg. I think I could maybe double those times now.

Quoting myself, but I just looked again at those times. They're clearly fucking quick, but also a MASSIVE difference in your 400m times, 52 v 58 is huge! At 52s you must have been a talent?!!!
I was never a runner at school, and remember running a 400m in about 70s in 6th form 😀

Yeah only did athletics for a very short time, so only a small selection to go off and had no idea how to run those races. McEvedy champ though!

Jesus Christ. That's beyond ridiculous.
Earlier this year, I was really comfortable at 5:15 p/km for some good distances - up to 20k ish. On some fartlek training sessions, I'd occasionally get a sub 4:30 km but that was about it. I'd be too worried to run faster about a muscle strain.

Update - just saw said mate did a marathon in the weekend at a cheeky 2hrs 41mins...averaging 3min50sec kms. I'd be happy with just one of those kms
