Yep its that time of the year when I shamelessly ask for good wishes in my attempt to run 3km outdoors as part of a relay team

Those with elephantic memories will recall that I managed round 19 45s last year - my excuse was the heat ( temps were +30c) but this time around, temps will be close to 20-25C so should be manageable.

Have been training hard - 6am runs for the last one month and am glad to say that my training time is close about 17 40s which is a real achievement for me!

9th December is that day - just about 10 days to go... pls add your pleasant thoughts in this thread knowing fully well that any snide remarks like "my dog can run faster than you" etc will result in an immediate ban...

Just 3 km's and so much pareshaani?

I can do it with my left leg.
 
Best of luck bro. I am thinking of taking part in my community as well :inti but age has caught up with me, will be reaching 22 next year :ibutt so time to retire from strenuous work

Try doing a beep test, if you know what that is.

By doing a beep a test you will able to improve ur speed.

If you have any friends Who will take part in this event, try competing with them.

Yes, he built Pakistan with his own hands in August of that year, brick-by-sodding brick. And that was just from the crib!

Btw be there an hour or two early and excersize, because you don't want to pull a muscle while running!
 
your ipod is filled with the hell of motivating songs already ??? do not forget some nice shake in breakfast 2 hours before the race and a banana 10 mins before you start and do streach and walk a little but dont run much.

Lookin fwd to your results
 
:)

Alhamdolillah All done

2.88 km in about 16-45s !!! This is a record for me - amazed myself
 
wow 16 minutes. That is good improvement from last year's 19 minutes :14:

looks like the training and practises really paid off.

Read my first post about smart alec comments - by the way how much is your time for approx 3 km?
Click to expand...

It doesn't matter MIG how good your time was but well done for beating your previous best. You did it for charity and we should take some inspiration. If you can inbox me your charity or post it a link I would be happy to donate/sponsor your efforts.
 
16 min for 3 kilometer is pretty good actually. I bet most of the people in here would pass out after 1 km.
 
And am afraid it's that time of the year again! 3km of pain await me on 16th nov - am in training now so wish me luck :)
 
Best of luck to you ^^^

Kia MIG ki yeh koshish kamyab hogi ? Kia MIG rickaard tor daur laga sakaiN ge ? Kia MIG ke dil aur dimagh maiN iss waqt chal raha hoga ? Yeh jaane ke liye rahiye hamare saath ...

I just did 5km yesterday. It took 29 minutes though. the last km totally wrecked my timing :(

Good luck Mig, only time I run is when my wife chases me with her broom. Then it is only about 20m and I have jumped over the back wall. :)

Will report on the time but its not looking good :(
 
According to latest updates man is nearby starting point.
 
Updates: MIG is waiting for other runner to come and hand the baton to him can happen any second now (20 minutes realistically estimated by MIG himself ) :misbah

we are waiting for more updates.

Good luck sir:19:! Make PP proud today and break all the records:).
 
Updates: Our Runner is not responding so we can safely assume he is running to make all of us proud as we are typing.

for all the fans out there not so anxiously waiting for updates his last word was "SO" make what you guys can out of it.

P.S. we will resume updates as soon as we get back in contact with MIG
 
Updates : Our man MIG did it on his feet in 17 mins a job well done.

Congrats to MIG.
