PPAC-148 1500m Track Race [1 June 2025]

Our June race was a smaller event, with 4 runners taking the line for the 1500m. The race began at 6:09am in good weather conditions.

The race report and full results are below. Our next race will be our Sokha 5K on 06 July. Please stay tuned to our regular channels for a race announcement.

Results
Hugo demonstrated his impressive speed to take 1st place in the men's, with a well-paced race and a blazing fast 74.9s final lap to clock in at 5:07.46.

First placed female, Anya, also ran a well-paced effort, getting a few seconds faster each lap and finishing with an impressive sprint to the line.

Thanks to the athletes who showed up this week, and to our volunteers Meyjou and Vincent. This event marked the milestone of 5 volunteer events from Vincent, a significant contribution and one the club is immensely grateful for!

We look forward to welcoming all of our club athletes, as well as competing clubs and the general public, to our July 5km race on 6 July at Sokha.

Pacing Analysis & Consistency
The table below shows split times and average pace per km for each section of the race. The Pacing Consistency rating is designed to give runners an idea of how well they have balanced their efforts across the whole race. Generally speaking, consistent, evenly paced efforts are the best way to achieve your fastest possible time.
Ratings below 1.00 indicate excellent pacing, and the lower the number, the better, in general, for optimal performance in highly aerobic running events like the 5km and beyond.

Pacing in track racing can be me even more critical since there is very little chance to recover from running sections too fast or slow relative to your optimal target pace.

Volunteers & Supporters

A special thanks as always to our awesome team of volunteer officials and helpers on the morning - Meyjou and Vincent - as well as all the weekly training session leaders!

We would like to extend our gratitude to all the club members, runners and supporters who made this running event a success and whose support allows us to continue to organise community athletics activities for all.

PPAC-147 5km Road Race [4 May 2025]

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-146 3000m & 200m Track Double-Header [6 April 2025]

For our April track meet , we had a mix of club members and guests showing up to put in some hard work and test themselves against strong competition. The 3000m is an excellent fitness test, athletes can use this distance as a benchmark and it is very helpful for setting paces for training zones or for predicting goal race paces for longer distances. The 200m is a pure speed event, and something that a lot of us forget to train for, but is always a fun race and often has exciting close finishes! Race report and full results and analysis below: Race Report In the 3000m, Hugo P. was the men's leader from the gun, demonstrating consistent pacing with a clear goal time in mind, achieving a 12.5s PB. Styvenn (2nd) earned himself a PB by shedding a whopping 23.6s off his previous best. Styvenn is one of the brave few who show up every Tuesday morning at 5AM to grind it out in our Early Bird Threshold session. Clearly...

PPAC-141 5km Road Race [3 November 2024]

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...
