Finally....I manage to break the 1 hour limit at my usual route. I have been aiming to run faster, and adding up speed. I raced against uphills, downhills, traffic, and exhaust smoke to reach that elusive time by 59 minutes 12 seconds. My previous fastest record was 1:00:17
Once you go faster, it's a matter of reaching checkpoints at times that you know you need to reach in order to reach your finishing time goal. There's one part of the route that I just had to reach at 51 minute mark if I wanted to run sub 1 hour. I managed to reach it after putting rockets on my legs. Then it's all the way to the finishing line.
Speedwork is really not my strength, but I am trying to run faster for this saturday's run.

Congrats for your running fast adventure! I know exactly what you mean by getting to certain spot by certain time in order to hit final target time. I do that all the time.hehe (you can read my post on adding speed to exchange view and improve together)

hi waterman,
Most runners think the same..hehe..
Try to keep cool by wearing a cap, long sleeve t-shirt (not cotton) to prevent sun burn...and drink lots of fluids.
Yeap...you will get burnt...so don't do it always...
