PRs set! 5K (21:01), 7K in 29:27, 10K in 42:14 and 14K in 59:32

Yesterday I was supposed to do 3k X 5 aiming at doing the 3ks in 12 mins thereabout. When I did the first 1k in 4:13, I decided it was too slow for a 3k repeat. So I decided, why not hold the pace and try to break the 30mins barrier for 7k? I reached 4k and decided, why not see if u can go under 22mins for 5k. I think I did. Ok, now hold it there for another 2 kays. I broke the 30mins for 7k. Ok, why not try and break 43mins for 10k? Its just another 3k. I hang on and hammered the next 3k in sub 4:16 paces. Ok tough guy, why not hammer the next 4k and crush the 1hour barrier for 14k? Don't be a pussy. Just grit your teeth and bust your guts. I did some three 4:20s and a last 4:15. The time was about 59:32. And that, ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, is how I have crushed the 1hr barrier for 14k. I celebrated with one liter of sparkling water and an orange.

Maybe I could try a sub 1:13 17k next week. Here are the splits:

1				4:13.6
2				4:13.5
3				4:09.0
4				4:11.2
5				4:13.9
6				4:13.5
7				4:12.5
8				4:11.0
9				4:16.2
10				4:20.4
11				4:20.6
12				4:20.4
13				4:21.6
14				4:15.0

Avg. Pace 4:15 Total Time (14K) : 59:32

PRs set:

5K in 21:01

7K in 29:27

9K in 37:58

10K in 42:14

I think for me to run well, my weight needs to be under 73Kgs. That is what I have come to conclude from all this. Now that I am below it, I am hanging onto it like dear life. The sub 1:20 half seems very achievable with sub 70Kgs weight, which is where I am headed. Now I am aiming at doing a sub 20 mins 5K and a sub 1:30 21K before Stanchart.

1:5kgs to go. Lets Keep rollin!
