Race report

Tough getting the breathing right after a couple of months away from the run.

Race report

I have gained a few kilos and ths is showing in my run times.

Race report

Second race after being away for a few months and took 6 minutes of last weeks time. I will try to get under 30 minutes next week.

Race report

First run after several month off so happy with the really slow time.

Race report

Happy with my time, it was very hot even at 08:00 am.

Race report

I haven't run for a few weeks so I was happy with today's effort

Race report

my personal best time, very happy.

Race report

A good run today although there was some confusion at the start of the race. The time keeper said go but people were standing around until he made it clear that it was GO. After the race we were told to take 20 seconds off our recorded times which would make a personal best time for me. It would make my time 29:47 just 4 seconds better than my previous PBT.

Race report

After a few days of groin pain, I didn't beat my best time, however I am happy with the result.

Race report

After several months of trying, I managed to get my 5 km time down from 45 minutes to just under 30 minutes so I will now have to set a new target. My time was 29:51.6 and I was pleased with my effort.

Race report

A good run/walk today with a time of 30.31, getting very close to my target of 30 minutes or under.

Race report

There were a lot of other events clogging up the track this week, football event and a marathon so navigating through these people was a challenge. Still I managed my second best time so far.

Race report

I felt today that I could beat my best time, however, I was stopped during the run by another runner who had found some keys on the track. They were not mine but the delay meant that I didn't beat my best time coming in 46 seconds longer so 32.12 today.

Race report

After several weeks of rain, the track today was dry and good to run on, however the temperature has risen by a good 5 or 6 degrees so it was hot and humid. This reflected on my time of 32.14 up from my previous best of 31.26. Still a good run and as always followed by coffee and conversation.

Race report

The track was wet and slippery in places but I still managed my best time so far. A few more months and I may reach my target time of under 30 minutes.

Race report

After several weeks of heavy rain and slippery running shoes on the track, I put in a bit of effort and tried to improve on my time for the 5 km. My target is to do the 5 km in under 30 minutes so I still have some way to go. 32.46 was my time today and I am happy with that.

Race report

The track was very wet and slippery so not a good time today.

Race report

The right knee is getting better and I did my best time this week. 5 km in 33 minutes. I hope to beat my target time of 30 minutes in the next few weeks.

Race report

The rain held off for the duration of the run but the track was still slippery in places. The knee is getting better and I tried short spells of jogging mixed with fast walking.

Race report

The knee is getting better but still not ready for the pounding that jogging gives the knees. Happy with the walking time though.

Race report

Knee still troublesome, but getting better every week. I still hope to break 30 minutes for the 5 km run.

Race report

I am still having some problems with my right knee so not a very good time. There is always next week to do better.

Race report

The track was a little slippery for this race but I still managed to get a good time.

Race report

I was hoping to have a good time this week but the knee is still sore.

Race report

Returning to Clark Run after hurting my knee a few weeks ago. A good walk with a bit of jogging thrown in.

Race report

This week I tried to add a lot more jogging and less walking. I got my time down to 34.00 but I will suffer for it haha.

Race report

Another warm morning with strong competition from the younger guys. Last week I walked the course in 42 plus minutes. My goal this week was to beat 40 minutes but I tried some short jogging sessions and did the run in 37:23. Next weeks target is to beat 35:00 minutes.

Race report

This was the first practice run for the Clark Run and although I had walked the course many times, I had never set myself a target time. On this occasion I wanted to do the course in 45 minutes setting a time of 9 minutes per kilometer. I managed to finish in 42:52, 2 minutes under my target.
