Want to see someone run 10k in under 28 minutes? This could be it. The annual “Night of the 10k PBs’
There are lots of top-level European guys competing. It is a genuinely unusual and fun evening eg last year the racers ran through some sort of covered tunnel. anyway. Slightly quirky. But high quality runners with a good media presence.
Two of the races are part of the EUROPEAN CUP and in 2016 two of the races were qualifiers for RIO.
When: 19 May from 1PM
Where: NW3 2JP
Who else? Jo Pavey is doing some speaking and some people on bikes are doing wheelies as an RAF Typhoon flies past. Seriously! Previous years have seen Lord Coe and London buses.

My favourite kit and nutrition
- Maurten — the race nutrition trusted by elite athletes. Gels and drink mix engineered to be easy on the stomach.
- Garmin 90-degree charging adapter — the small adapter that keeps your charging cable tidy at the stem. Essential for race day.
- Garmin charging puck — the fastest and most reliable way to top up your Garmin before a session.
- Ravemen FR300 — front light that mounts directly under your Garmin or Wahoo head unit. Keeps your bars clean and your beam pointed where it matters.
- Garmin Varia RTL515 — radar rear light that alerts you to vehicles approaching from behind. Pairs with your Edge or Garmin watch.
- Stryd — the footpod that brings running power to your Garmin. The single most useful running upgrade I have made.
- Favero Assioma Pro RS2 — the power meter pedals most serious cyclists end up choosing. Accurate, easy to move between bikes.
