Chamkaur Singh - Flying Our National Colours in Australia

An amazing run up to the upcoming 5000m Victoria (Melbourne) State Championships on 25 Nov 2010.

Picture 1 - Running some road runs just before the track season



Just on 30/10/2010, Chamkaur did a 15min 17sec for the 5000m road run and, subsequently, 2 weeks later he did a creditable 8min 48.46sec for a 3000m race. On 13 November 2010, he excelled himself by doing an 8min 40.64sec for the 3000m.

Moreover, at the rate Chamkaur Singh is progressing, it seems that he is getting nearer to achieving a personal best target time of 15min 00sec very soon. He told me this in Singapore a few months back. He is also getting close in terms of breaking N. Ganesan's 14min 57sec National record for the 5000m track race.

In the coming 25th Nov 2010, if Chamkaur does a steady 2min 59.00sec for each 1km splits during the 5km track race, he will be able to do a 14min 55sec and it means that he will be able to go 2 secs below the national record. As a friend and a well-wisher, all I can say is," All the best Chamkaur! "

Time: 8min 40.64sec for 3000m
