    Looking for some advice

    Have a PB over 10km of 52.21 from a few years back but my most recent time was 53.56 (3 weeks after injury and alot of physio so not up to my own standards)

    Looking like I may have more time to train going forward (possible career break)

    What is my potential?

    Thanks

    Sub 45 is possible IMO.

    How long is a piece of string?

    There is some clown who went from a 1 hour 10k as a fresh newbie to a 10k PB of 32:45 after several years of dedicated, hard training. Undoubtedly there is a fair amount in talent in that one but nobody could have predicted that at the very start.

    Thanks peeps, also would anyone have a link to good balance exercises? Physio said it is something I need to work on.

    That 53:56 wasn't a good time for you.

    You just need someone to give you a push.

    My boss Leo does a bit of running and said he will sit down with me next week to discuss a plan

    To be honest I am someone who needs a bit of supervision.

    I definitely think sub-40 should be possible. A good coach could swing it for you.

    Got professional advice previously but in hindsight it looks to have cost me a big fitness payout

    Avoid carrying drinks in both hands. Should help ;)

    It'll be up to the judge to decide if you can go sub-50

    Paddy is backing me to do it. Dean offered assistance as well but wasn't enough to get me where to where i wanted.

    Have ya still got that pic of you in the red dress? Pop it up there, if you pardon the expression, and I'll be in a better position to give you an estimate.

    I found the Sue Twomey 10k plans very good or maybe that Dean Karnazes guy.

    Swings and roundabouts in the end though I suppose.
