While on the subject, did my first 10km on saturday in P Park and completed in 49.06. Felt like I had a bit of energy left and am going to try a 15KM this saturday. Have been training about 2 months now so is above time good for this amount of training and can anybody recomend a good 10km event in the next couple of weeks as I would like to try run in an event.

Good, I'd say bloody brilliant well done! I'm also a running novice training for my first 5km in November with 3 other running virgins and if I did it in 40 mins I'd be thrilled. If I do it in 25 mins i'm putting ad in The Times!!

Just to cap this off, I read somewhere reliable that the world records and best PR is 13.30 for a 5K and 27.45 for 10K. I have a reference is anyone is interested. My PR is 59.05 for 10K and 28.07 for 5 K, compare that.
Most important is that we take part :)

He he, just looking at the times..... I ran my first 10k on Sat, did it in 66mins!!! back to the training....
Still very proud though, I ran it all, still had fuel in the tank. Had my 5th baby 5months ago, so things can only improve!!!! LOL!
Doing a 5k in two weeks, so would be aiming for 30 ish mins. Might have babyjogger, so it would be tougher...
Good luck with races.

I think I got 27min and a bit in my first 5k. I have it down to just over 23min now, but that was on the road with cars and people walking along etc and hills. Hoping to get sub-22mins next year (or later this year if I can find a decent race on). I haven't done many 10k, but I think my time is 55mins or so. Currently working on the HM distance and mara training.

Anything less than 32mins is considered running pace based on running being defined as a speed of 9.2kph or more so 25 min is v good. also average time from USATF is bout 27.11 (thats based on track running)
