That's currently out of my league. I could of course cycle the 10km course in 25 minutes easily but that would be cheating. :) My training started at the beginning of the year, so I figure that the three and a half month buffer should be good enough to get me at least to an 8km/h (double a slow walk) speed. I'm already better than that, so the next 8 weeks will be concentrating on making sure I can keep it up for a full 10km. I hope I don't get the flu or injure myself in the interim. 12 km/h equates to a 50 minute run. That’s currently out of my league.

Consider that you're going to be running at about 12 km/h, which is nearly unbearable when driving. You probably should be able to train up for it in 1~2 months. Eat bananas, they're good for stamina. Good luck! I’ve done the sun run 3 times before and it isn’t that rough.
