I'll start the ball rolling myself.
Name|400m<60 secs|800m<150 seconds|1 mile<5 min|3k<10min|5k<20min|5mile<30min|10k<40m|10miles<1hr|Half Marathon<90mins|Marathon<3hrs

This will almost certainly be my only opportunity to get on the table this year - a PB during the Bob Heffernan in May. Achieved off the back of a dedicated 12 weeks of 5k training using a Matt Fitzgerald 80/20 plan (level 3, although I alternated with level 2 for a few of the harder sessions towards the end). The race itself was a dream.
Apart from that, a 2:30.62 during the first Graded Meet of the year at Morton was the nearest I got to getting an 800 round number. Close but no cigar!0 -

.62 of a second
Ouch Murph!
5k was the MSB 5k on St Patricks weekend, 5 Mile Raheny, 10k K Club......all in first part of the year when i was concentrating on 10k type stuff before heading into an HM training block for Limerick that ended in me DNF'ing when I shouldn't have taken to the start line due to a virus I'd picked up. HM from the race series half which I was very happy with. Hope to add a decent Marathon time to the board in 3 weeks time

So more a case of 1 Round Number then?
Seriously, though; this thread should really be for people having a crack off most of the distances, if not all. Otherwise it makes little or no sense. I mean I could put in a couple of times but if I have no intention of even attempting half of them. Since the demise of the Clown himself the thread has regressed and lost its mojo. If people who are in with a chance of getting say 8 of these and may be thinking of having a crack at the last two do not post........... Anyone out there who's close this year to all of em?0 -

Tbf even when this thread had reached it's zenith, there would have been maybe 2 or 3 posters in with any sort of shout of hitting them all. Everyone else was just seeing how many of the 10 they could knock off in a year. I don't think completing the 10 was ever really the main emphasis for most.
I always, and still do, looked at it as a challenge to see which ones, if any, I could hit in a year. Like a lot of posters the sub 20 5k was the first to be ticked off, and I remember being delighted to be able to post a time amongst some far quicker atheletes than myself
A couple of years since my first foray into the thread, I'm happy to say that ,outside of the 400m and maybe the 3k mark, I reckon I could hit the other 8 marks. Of course I'd have to run 800m & mile races first, but with the NIA Live events that has become more of a possibility......but, like the Best of 20xx threads, there's not much posting going on
So in conclusion, I expect to see your Valencia time popping up on this thread at the end of the year! 0 -
