    Samantha owns this week's sole formal entry on the calendar for her 10K in the city of sails -- Auckland, New Zealand. 

     

    10K is both a tough distance to run and a great half marathon test distance --- it's too long to just fling out the first mile and hold on like one usually does in a 5K, but it's not so long that you ever want to hit  'cruise' tempo for the middle miles as you do in the longer events. A challenging distance indeed, as it too long for one approach and too short for the other.

    Go Samantha, good luck and run strong!

    Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

      Good luck, Samantha, have a great race!

      MT I agree- even in the half you have to do a  very fast cruise for 10 miles or you won't make it to the finish.

      PBs since age 60:  5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.

                                          10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.

        Good luck Samantha!

         

        That's a very astute description of a 10K race, MT.

        Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. 

        Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
