Power of 10

I was chatting with Steve W last night about how fast all this speed work could make us perform in races.

We were both reminded about how a fellow Ilkley Harrier had set everyone the target a year or so ago to try and register a time on athletics.com.

This data is now posted on thepowerof10.info website, and there are quite challenging targets for us to get a time registered.

For V40 they are:
5km - 17:00
10km - 36:00
10m - 59:00
HM - 1:20:00
20m - 2:05:00
Marathon - 3:00:00

It made me think that if I'm aiming for sub-3 for the marathon, then why shouldn't I (and in fact Steve W and the other 3 or 4 fast MV40s who have formed a great training group on the track) go for these targets as well along the way?

So Abbey Dash (10k), Brass Monkey (HM), and Trimpell 20, are perhaps all possibilities?

It is a shame that the person mentioned earlier who inspired us to go for these targets and always pushed for the club to be competetive on the road is no longer in our club. He'd now find a good group of like-minded folk.
