A high quality field lined up for only the second 10km road race of
2021. We welcomed two first timers and eleven athletes were running their
first PPAC 10km race - a great opportunity to set a marker for long distance
form as we head into the cooler months.
We were treated to another great performance and PPAC club record as Andarge
set a new PB of 36:16 as personal records tumbled across the board. The day's
biggest improvement came from Matt, continuing an amazing run of form,
slashing 2:04 off his previous best closely followed by James and Jack with
respective 1:37 and 55-second improvements. There were five Points PB's with
big jumps for Guanghui and Dickson.
Well done to youth athlete Sreyleap for finishing comfortably under one hour in her first 10km race!
Mark produced by far the most consistent performance of the day, with
Guanghui and top female finisher Yin Ling also sub-1.00 for consistency. The only athlete to record a personal Sokha Lap best was Dickson, all the more impressive considering his previous
best was set during a 5k race.
In the fitness factor ratings there are several athletes in the mid-to-high
50's across a range of finish times of 36-45 minutes, with Jack top, just shy
of the 60 threshold, testament to some excellent consistent training.
Thanks as always to the race officials and volunteers Seavmey and
Sivmuyleng, and Seavmey & Matt for the videography and photography. Join
us soon for another PPAC event!

For our May 5K we were pleased to welcome several new participants for their first event with Phnom Penh Athletics Club , including 7 visiting athletes from SheRuns Club. Developing inter-club competition is one of our priorities, so this week's race was a great step forward for club-level athletics in Cambodia. The race report and full results are below. Our next race will be a track meet on 01 June. Please stay tuned to our regular channels for a race announcement. Results Craig (1st male) led from the start, putting several seconds into the chase pack on the first lap and only extending his lead from there. Running alone did not seem to affect his plan as he ran away to a new PB and a comfortable victory. Things were a little closer in the chase pack with Hugo , Mathieu and Yohann working together to push each other and keep the race honest. Eventually, it would be the experienced Mathieu who was able to...
PPAC's November 5km was back at the regular Sokha course. 21 runners made it to the start line in wet and humid conditions though the rain stayed away for most of the race! The race report and full results are below. See you soon for more fun training sessions and athletics events including our next 3km race on 17 November! Results Adam provided the pacing duties for the sub-20 group and it looked promising early with a strong pack including Paul, Andarge, Tom, Hugo and Vincent sticking with him for much of the race. Eventually two athletes were able to break the elusive 20-minute barrier, while several others strode ever closer to that impressive mark. We love to see athletes pushing boundaries and attempting challenging goals, so there is never any shame in falling short of a target. Eventual first place finisher Paul was more than happy to let the lead pack go during the opening Park Lap, confident in his ability to reel them in as the race unfo...
