10 k running competitions by cros_tim

I participated at a 10 km race at the Palma de Mallorca Marathon on 16th October. It was a great race and I really enjoyed it! The weather was warm and sunny, 24 degrees Celsius at 9 a.m. The route was along the seafront, between palm trees... many music band along the way, including a Mexican band!

The start was the same for all runners, at all races.

The organization of the event was very good(TUI). We received a medal and plenty of drinks, doughnuts, bananas and apples. There were many British and German runners, more than Spanish!

I stayed one week in Palma and I visited the La Seu cathedral, the historical centre, Santa Eulalia church and Arab baths.

Hello!

I started yesterday the intensive training for my next 10 k races, which will take place in October. I run in the evening on the athletic track for 42 minutes, apopx. 6,5 km. I really must focus on speed now, because I want to finish both 10 k races in less than 1 hour. i want to finish 5 k in 31 minutes and then to increase my speed at km 6.

I watched all last week the Athletics World Cup! It was fantastic to see Usain Bolt winning again! I am also glad because Mo Farah won the 5000 m race!

Today is a wonderful spring day! I run for 45 minutes in the area where I live. The smell of the trees in blossom is in the air!

During the week I run on the athletic track... I must prepare for my next race!

I run 9 km last Wednsday, then I did speed intervals on Friday and today 7km. Next week I want to run 10km again.

Hi!

I finally started my training last week, when I run 3 times for about 5 km non stop. I want to reach 10 km again after 3 weeks.

We had a very cold winter here, with lots of snow, so I did not run in December and January. But I can say that I did not put on weight any kg at all! I walked  a lot and also climbed stairs in order to keep fit. I plan to participate at 3-4 running competitions this year and I also hope to be able to run more than 10 km non stop before the year is finished.
