Improving 10k with regular training

[MMS]

Hi TheEd,

Back from hometown where I raced a 5k yesterday in 21:04. Well, not exactly 5k, close to 5,2k according to my GPS. Here a parenthesis: unfortunately, 5K races in Brazil are not measured properly. There are many cases of runners complaining about it, all over the country. Also you and I know that GPS devices are not 100% accurate, but it gives good approximation when you run in wide opened areas (it´s this case).

Except that, it was a good race especially because it was not a flat course.

I got 13th place and 1st at my age category! :great: Too bad they don´t give trophies for categories. Small races are good because of this: you always get a better position!


Now, I´ll focus on my next 10k race in two weeks, June 29th.

Cheers

ps: the satellite image is old, that´s why we didn´t run on grass/dirt!
