I'm looking for a pacing partner in the upcoming Senior Bowl 10K, who would also be an online training partner during the intervening weeks. I'll explain.
I have a goal to run a sub 50-minute 10K. More specifically, a sub-50 10K in the 2009 Senior Bowl Charity Race. The closest I've come is a 52:12 but the typical time for me lately is in the 54-minute range. I've undertaken a program of speedwork and conditioning to break the 50 minute barrier in November. I'm looking for a runner who is like-minded and in about the same place in terms of current fitness levels and 10K performance.
I live in Atlanta, so I'm not looking for a running partner. But I would like to collaborate on training methods, goals, routines and progress toward milestones. We could then help pace each other in Mobile on November 7th, hopefully to a satisfying sub-50 minute finish.
Anyone interested, please drop me an email.
