Re: 10km Run preprations

and there is even a bigger reward for full marathon
there are two categories one for local runners and one for international runners
since ther isnt much trainers availabe here so our Govt really appreciates local runners

Re: 10km Run preprations

Cool that would be sooo aweosme. Just get your long running base up first get to the 10 K mark slow then you can work on speed you'll have no speed if you don't get your endurance up first once you can run the 10k with no probs build up your speed by hill training interval training etc.

the best i did was 6.5k in 60 minutes EVER
i will try to crepp to 5miles then 6.25 gradually..within next two months i want to keep i slow..so i get the endurance.
thanks for the starting tips sarah.
i mostly do 5mph on incline 2 for 30 minutes i will rather slow down my speend and do 4 miles,for 4mph..then creep to 5mphs ..then one day i will be able to do 12 mph..and then 14 mph,..hehe
arent we too optimistic

Sarah

You dont have to pay the travel expenses either our Govt plus the country whose athlete participate pays the travel/hotel bilss

Re: 10km Run preprations

We gotta have goals and be Optimistic other wise where the heck would we be right. The best I have ever done is running 8MPH for 5 minutes HE HE. I can do intervals and go a lot longer but 8mph is really fast and I still ahve a bit of weight to push off and such to go that fast.

Re: 10km Run preprations

may be u could ask the local Marathon supervisors to know the procedure
there is a year to to train yourself for the big run

[sadie@136]

Re: 10km Run preprations
