    If you run the HM time during a sub 3 M, thats two boxes ticked.

    Races only count (or time trial on a standard track), to ensure accuracy.
    the original rules say one time per race

    :)
    Fair point, I've amended the first post to reflect IAAF policy in regards to hitting one time as part of a longer race.
    1) you can only take one time out of each race, ie. no ticking the half-marathon box on your way to a sub3. IAAF rules, you can run the 5k time as the first half on the way to the 10k time so long as there is chipped split timing (ie no garmin self-time, no "fastest 5k" coming between 2-7kms.

    This means if you have chip time proof of running sub 1:30 half marathon, during the first half of a full marathon, that counts. More to the point, it opens up the challenge to see who could get all 8 in one race;)

    A sub 5minute mile at the start of a sub3 marathon is probably not the best plan ever. :D

    I actually think a 2:40 marathoner wouldn't have a whole lot of difficulty achieving all 8 within a LSR with some PMP miles thrown in. Ok, it'd be tough but well doable:

    4 mile warmup at 7:00 pace, 3km at 5:22 pace, 4 mile @ 7:30 pace to recover, 10 miles @ 6:00 pace (PMP)...at that point you'd have ticked off 3km, 5km, 5 mile, 10k, 10 mile & HM targets. 5 miles then at 8:00 pace with fast finish of 1 mile in 5:00 pace....to tick everything off with plenty to spare.

    So, will anyone try that as a session in 2011?

    Simple way of all 8 in the one session

    Bray runners are having a juv invitational meeting on Tuesday Jun 14th including a Senior Open Mile @ Charlesland, Greystones, entry fee will be nominal as will any prizes (if any), but if there are any boardies looking to post an official mile time drop me a note and I should be able to accomodate.

    Might have only been a pacing job but helped me knock it off the list. Perfect considering I am not racing over 10k this year:p

    Just realized my recent pacing effort qualifies me for an entry in this table and faster than ecoli too, yay! (which makes him a better pacer. Boo!).

    Just bumping this up, we have 3 sub 5 milers confirmed and a few around the 5min mark - let me know if you are interested in going for it!
