Run in

Big meeting at lunch with a vote to shock the legal world so I ran in. Was knackered and managed a new PW of 62:34. Was sweating heavily and panting up the hills. Not helped by having to carry a heavy rucksack. In fact, it slowed me down so much that got me thinking how much Kenenisa Bekele would have to carry on his back before I could beat him over 10km. I settled on 27kg.

108km for the week.

27kg? That may be too low unfortunately.... as long as the weight didn't force him to collapse on the spot, I reckon he could still shuffle along bent over faster than 32-33 minutes. A very sad realisation.

He's 5'8" and 66kg. I don't reckon it would be possible for any 5'8" chap weighing 93kg to run 32-33mins for 10km. And that's with the weight evenly spread.

27 kgs? That is almost two of my Harry's. I couldn't run 5k with him on my back. Bekele with twice the weight and twice the distance? His skinny legs would snap with the strain.

Bekele is 55kgs ringing wet surely?

As someone who weighs as much as Bekele + 27kgs. I can confirm that Bekele would lose this foot race. He would though, gain the not inconsiderable ability to drink Tom under the table.

I doubt that TOB. He hasn't trained as much as me in that area.
