The Human Race 10k
First 10km done, 21km to go.
Last Sunday I took part in a Nike project: The Human Race which was aiming to get million people worldwide to run 10km. Here in London the race started at the Wembley Stadium and the finish line was located on the Olympic Way next to the stadium. I have to honestly say that despite a heavy rain before and during the race it was really good fun! Pretty amazing feeling to take part of such a big run starting at the pitch of famous Wembley and to run along with Paula Radcliffe. Me and my girlfriend managed to finish in 01h 01min 53sec (6.43sec/km - 2.5km, 6.16sec/km - 5km, 5.48sec/km - 7.5km, 5.58sec/km - 10km). London managed to get 2nd fastest average time of all the cities taking part in the race with result 57min 47sec, just 1min 13sec more that Madrid. Well done to everyone! Here are some photos from the day.
I wanted to apologize to everyone who had a wrong impression that I will run a single 31km run for the Starfish charity. I believed I made this clear but probably not. So… I was planning to run Nike race (10km) and then a half marathon (21mk). I am really doing my best! :)
