Managed a 10k last night in 54 Mins around Hilly Halifax.

I'm turning 50 in November and would like to attempt a 10k race under 50 Mins, anyone know of any quick routes over the next couple of months? I am aware of the Leeds Abbey dash which would have been perfect but I have plans that weekend unfortunately.

Depends how far you want to travel I suppose, there is a decent 10k in Knutsford on Sunday Sept 29th, pretty flat.

Thanks, i'm off for a weekend on the beer in Bilbao on Friday 20th Sept, so that might be a bit too soon, but i'll have a look.

Sounds like you need to get your priorities sorted imho, whilst being able to drink a weekends worth of beer in one day is admirable, it's not going to run a sub 50 10k now is it

Yeah, I did it 2 years ago, I think you mentioned on here that you were late to the start but you got to overtake loads of people that way (including me)!

That's the one, sorry about that, I do like to rush things

Well done mate, that's good going, weirdly my fastest 10k was on a hilly race as part of the "Tour of Thameside" event just before lockdown. That was a great event, 4 or 5 (can't remember) races over consecutive nights, by the last night it was very hard on the legs but really enjoyable

Slight groin strain on Sunday, so called it short after 3 miles and walked home, itching to get out again but having to rest it for a couple of weeks :(
