Paddy’s patter

Some brilliant times so far in our Virtual Doug Bramley event so far. If you haven’t done it yet, you’ve got until the 22nd of December.
Don’t forget your donation to our local foodbank, so that we can help our wider community too.
This is our last full week before the holiday season, so push hard now to enjoy those extra drinks and portions!

Hereโ€™s the science bit, all times below based on running at 8 mins per mile for a 10k. You may need to adjust the timings for your own individual pace.

Following feedback we’ve created a pace calculator to allow you to work out your target paces easily, just enter your target 10k time in the h:mm:ss format and let it do the hard work for you.
For example 45 minutes would be 0:45:00, 65 minutes would be 1:05:00
