Paris ’24 – 17th April 2024
With just 100 days to go before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris, it must be time for another blog post.
The 10K Final is scheduled for Friday, August 2nd 2024 at 9.20pm
Why mention this?
As I am running 5Ks at just over the 10K qualifying time of 27:28 I have a new aim…to run a 10K on August 2nd, the same day as those gazelles of the athletic world, go home, shower and then watch to see the elite storm home in less than 63 seconds per 400m laps.
if one aims at nothing, one is sure to succeed
Also, the 10K world record stands at 26:11 care of Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei…that shall now be my aim for running Parkrun 5Ks. Not easy, my pb is about a minute slower than Joshua Cheptegei’s 10K record!
But if one aims at nothing, one is sure to succeed.
Today’s 5K on Bristol Downs, a gentle jog after cramp 6:17 per km, just over 30 mins for 5K, so there’s a way to go.
But with my new Brooke’s trainers and a following wind…who knows?
