The Cabbage Patch 10 - Twickenham

[Deleted User]

Bugger - you beat me to it.

Top of the list? Not the way I'm feeling right now. My legs are absolutely aching from my run last night - I'm figuring that there's no fuel left in my body so the muscle repair just ain't going on right now. NHS Direct told me Lucozade was a good bet - how did they know I have gallons of it round the house?

Gavo

Based on previous 10m runs I reckon I'll be between Spans & Caz (now there's an image) at about 1h 18.

[Deleted User]

throw me in at 1hr 20 guys. Tempted to challenge myself but regret to anounce this will be my first as a vet!.....sob sob

[Deleted User]

Pig Pen, are you just trying to split, Me Gavo and Spans up?

Oh to run it in 1 hour 20!!

[Deleted User]

part of a cunning plan. This way I should always have someone to chat too !

besides three's a crowd...(so is four a mob ?)

[Deleted User]

I sit beside Jonathon and he reckons to do it in 1:06, don't let him tell you otherwise

[Deleted User]

Looks like I've been knocked off the top of the table - nothing like a bit of friendly (yeah right) competition...

Oh it's a battle for the top slot. No one is aiming for my time? RR why don't you aim for 1:25:00?

Jonathan

I do not think I will get too near 1.06 but will try and get a decent time considering I shall be rather hungover due to a boozy event the night before!

I would also like to thank mexican road sweeper for predicting me that time! Will be nearer 1.15 I think but we shall see what happens.

Looking forward to it!

[Deleted User]

Not true, you were even talking about doing it in 60 minutes a few days ago...

Jonathan

Wow, I would only be 10 minutes behind you then, ha, ha! Unfortunately I would do it in that sort of time but I am hindered by injuries, lack of fitness and a lack or running ability!!!

Venon

Put me down for a target time of 1:28

Cheers

MexicanRoadSweeper - are you doing this run (I haven't seen you declare anywhere yet). Jonathon, are you staying on a target of 1:06 then? (you can pull me round if so)

[Deleted User]

I'm up for this, I haven't got my number yet as I only sent off my entry this week.
Estimate of time:
1:20 (Major celebration show me the champagne).
1:25 This is what I'm aiming for.
1:30 (Could do better - managed this at the 10 mile point at Windsor).

Henny

My current PB is 1:18:43 set in 1984, which I have high hopes of beating; so put me down for 1:18:42! With a following wind I might even do 1:16 - it also helps that this is only my 3rd 10 miler in 18 years; the second one being a 1:20, 3 weeks ago.

Jonathan

Hi, I think that the mexicanroadsweeper would like to run however he is being forced to go to Amsterdam I believe on a stag weekend, obviously not as much fun as a day out in Twickenham!

Can you please amend my time to 1 hour 10 please as I do not think I will be quicker than 7 min miles. Thanks.

#'s 4969 , hoping to beat GSR time , which was 1:26:48

Could I have some advice from you guys?! - I did the Richmond Park Nike 10km thing the other week in 44:15 - what time should I aim for here?? If anyone has a sensible target could they add it to the list!
Thanks

Jonathan

Hi David, that is a great time - I think if you ran at an even pace you were doing 7 minute miles. If you have not done a 10 mile before just slow your initial pace down a bit and then push on if you are still feeling good further into the race.

I think you could do a sub 1.20 - does that sound right? That would mean staying below 8 minute miles for the race.

Good luck with the run!

[Deleted User]

Thanks Jonathan - I'll try my best!

Venom - can anyone join your list??! Could you put me down at 1:19:59!! Thanks DS

[Deleted User]

David,

Based on 44:12 10k, Bob Glover predicts a 10 mile time of 1:13:13. That doesn't take account of factors like specific training for given distances (i.e. if you've never run further than 10k, you're unlikely to do your first 10m in that time).

On the plus side, the Nike run was very hilly, whereas this will be flat. So that should buy you a minute or two.

Thanks Venom - and you're right I've not run more than 10km for over 10 years...! I only did 5 training runs for the Nike thing - but I think I'll aim low for 1:19 this time! Have a good w/end!

Ratcatcher

Can I add myself to your list? I will probably be amongst the 1:30 crowd.

annajo

doh why are you cruel venom, putting the list in order of expected time! I was hoping no one would notice I would be aiming for the slowest time! Hopefully you faster guys will hang about and give me a cheer as I finish?!

[Deleted User]

Sorry Annajo - it was that Caz, she made me put it in time order! Don't worry - we'll all wait around until the race is over. Have you got a club vest to run in?

Looks like we're up to 20 runners now - pretty impressive. Anyone know how big the field will be?

venom

[Deleted User]

Venom, I was just trying to keep it in line with the other events listings.... tsk.... some people love to pass the buck don't they (no pun intended)

Annajo, don't listen to him, he's not well and therefore not feeling himself lately

He, he, he.

[Deleted User]

On the Stragglers website it says that over 600 entries have been received and processed so could be towards 1000 if there are more late entranst like me (sent it in last night!), plus the on-the-day entries.

There are some great pubs round there for carbo-loading afterwards...!

DS

[Deleted User]

Hi DS, yeah I just looked at the site as well and it said 600 entries received by 26th September. I'm sure they're well over that number by now.

Caz, I get the feeling there was supposed to be some lewd joke in that last posting of yours. Thankfully I didn't manage to work out what it was...

You'll be pleased to know that I'm feeling a lot better today. Possibly even well enough to try visiting a couple of Pitcher & Piano's tonight with Jon...
