2010 - New 5K timing

Just to keep it for the record, 22min 34sec. (Improved to 22min 25sec on 9-Jun)
Didn't feel uncomfortable at all - i think i can get under 22 min in a months time. and, then make it close to 21 mins. Will keep doing the weekly long runs of 10Km at comfortable pace to make the 5K feel shorter.

New 10K - fast & confident

Completed in 49min 52 sec - the first under 50 min by me. YESSSS!!!!

I was mentally prepared to do it. Was constantly doing 25-35 min runs at the same pace once in a while. And, some fast paced runs (4:30 min per Km) to make the target pace (5 min per Km) feel easy and comfortable. Added with a dash of weight training.
It was a pretty solo effort (like 99% of all), but i think i am going to move forward from this timing soon and realize the much awaited timing of 45 min. Fingers crossed.
