8K.PB

[AlMorr]

Good run for me today, it was a 8K.PB, I run without my metromone app, music instead, I was listening to the Evergreen Top 1000 records of the last 50 years, that radio program is being broadcast all week, it helped me get a PB 8K of 56.57

[roseabi]

Well done, Al!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to roseabi]

Thanks roseabi, it's the second run within a week that I have ran a little faster without the metromone app.

[roseabi in reply to AlMorr]

I used a metronome app for a while, it was nice to get rid of it!I think that it had served its purpose 😊

[Leosmit Graduate10 60minGraduate]

That’s a great achievement and a great time. Well done! Sounds like you enjoyed listening to the music!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Leosmit]

I enjoyed the run which started just a little after sunrise, I also enjoyed the music 🎶 as well.👍🏃🏾🎶

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

An easy 5k for me today.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Enjoy your "easy" 5K today Sue, so no PB for you.

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

No, I get my 'pb of the week" on Mondays these days, when I run with a friend - on a disused railway track, so plenty of space between us.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

There are plenty of disused railway lines not too far from where I live, however, I tend to cycle 🚴 on them rather than 🏃🏾 run

[RunaroundSue Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Sorry, I forgot to say well done on the pb

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to RunaroundSue]

Thanks 🏃🏾 👍

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Whoop whoop Al! Congratulations and well done on the PB 💪🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

It was a big whoop whoop, who knows I might get it under 55 minutes sometime in the future. 😊 🏃🏾

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Of course you will 🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

👍 🏃🏾

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

That's amazing, well done! 👏👏👏🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🎶🎶

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

I have heard several Beatles songs already on the Evergreen Top 1000 🎶 and there will be many more to come, I enjoyed my run this morning. 😊 🏃🏾

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

It sounds like a really enjoyable run, I think I would've enjoyed it too 😃

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

It was nice to see Christmas lights still on in some gardens and at windows as the sun had just risen so the lights were still bright, however, when the run was over, the lights were off.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

That sounds like a magical start to the run. I love Christmas lights 😍 we haven't put ours up yet, maybe this weekend 🎄

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

I intend to switch my Christmas 🤶 Lights and Christmas Tree 🎄 lights on at 4pm on Saturday 5th December.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

We're aiming for the same day for our Christmas tree 🎄🎅🤶☺️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

🤶 🏃🏾 🎄 🎅 🎄 🏃🏾

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

That's amazing, well done! 👏👏👏🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🎶🎶

[Buddy34 Graduate10]

Well done getting your 8k pb AlMorr and what a beautiful day we have today after 2/3 days of rain👏👏👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

It is a lovely day Buddy34, a change from the rain ☔ we have had recently, but there were a lot of puddles to avoid, I enjoyed my run, the good part of starting the run just at sunrise was that I passed several gardens which still had Christmas Lights on and a few had Christmas Tree 🎄 🎅 lights still on at their windows, when I was walking back after the run all those lights were off.

[Hidden]

Yes Al!!Awesome my main man. What a fabulous achievement. A brilliant way to cap another year of you being out there 'doing bits' as I like to say. What an inspiration mate. That's a quality run.

👏👏👏👏👏🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you GTFC, my run is also on Relive, its been a good running year for me, probably the highlight was my 10 miles run on the 22nd July 🏃🏾👍

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

What a highlight to have!! Awesome 👌

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

👍 🏃🏾

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Nice run there AlAnd we'll done on your 8k PB 😬👍👏👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Most of my midweek runs have been8 K's in around a hour, last weeks 8K was with my metromone app at 166 cadence/beats/steps a minute 62 minutes and 42 seconds, this morning without the app and with music 🎶 instead my time was 56.57.

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

BOOM! 💣💣💣 👏👏👏😁😁😁Way to go Al!

Huge congrats on a great PB

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Boom boom Birdlady64, thanks for the congratulations, your runs are also very boom boom🏃🏾👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlThat's not a Basil Brush 🦊type of boom boom I hope 😉😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

No🏃🏾👍

[59er Graduate10]

Well done! Sounds like you enjoyed the music. I am curious though, metromone app?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to 59er]

The metronome app is a good help for a runner to keep a even pace, but it's a bit strange that my fastest runs have been when I don't have it with me like this morning, the 🎶 music was very good as well. 😊 🏃🏾

[59er Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I think I'd quite like to try this Al - where can I find it? Also which station is the Evergreen playlist on?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to 59er]

The radio station that is playing The Evergreen Top 1000 can be heard at NPO Radio 5.NL.

[59er Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to 59er]

PS 59er, No. 1000 on the Top 1000 was The Everly Brothers with Walk Right Back, at No. 1 was Roller Coaster by Dutch singer Danny VeraThe full 1000 songs are on the NPO Radio 5 Website.

[59er Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

👍

[grumpyoldgirl]

I see someone's beaten me to it, I like the sound of that radio station. Brilliant stuff Al, looks like the Beatles are what you need for pacing your PB's!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Thank you GOG, I enjoyed my run this morning, I know all the numbers in Dutch from one to one thousand so I can listen to that Dutch Station with all that wonderful music.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to AlMorr]

That's impressive! I lived over there for a while, but I never really learnt much of the language. They all wanted to practise their English on me 😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

👍

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Cracking time, well done. Happy running 🤗

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

It was a reasonable cracking run Grannyhugs, I had a happy run this morning, especially seeing some Christmas 🤶 🎄 Lights on in some gardens before they were switched off.

[CBDB Graduate10]

Oh well done! 👏👏And I know how nice running to music can be! Might try that on Spotify! 🙏🙏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to CBDB]

I also listen to Spotify when I 🏃🏾 run

[lexi6 Graduate10]

That’s a really good 8k PB Alan 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Thanks lexi6, not heard from you for a while, I hope you are enjoying your parkruns, I still listen to RNZ Concert on a Monday evening, that's Tuesday morning where you are.

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I lost my mojo for a while Alan and have struggled with my running, but am running regularly again. I have done just 5 parkruns since they re-opened but hope to do more when we get a summer 👍Glad we still have our Concert programme too.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to lexi6]

Good news about your runs and Concert continuing, I don't think that parkruns will return any time soon in the UK or Ireland, it looks as if everyone will have to be vaccinated first and that might not be until Autumn 2021, I am in the age group that may be vaccinatated in March 2021 but I was reading in The Guardian that people under 50 won't get the Covid 19 jag until during the summer of next year.

[lexi6 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Wonderful that a vaccine is going to be available soon and I can only imagine the joy of everyone meeting up at parkruns again. You’ll all be getting PB’s there every week after your year of not parkruns. 👍

[Catho78 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your 8K PB, that’s awesome! Sounds like an enjoyable run, just you and some good tunes, that’s how I like it best too. Happy running 🏃🏽‍♀️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Catho78]

Yes indeed Catho78, it was a bit better listening to music than the tick tick of my metromone app.

[Mum22boys Graduate10]

Great run, well done Al 👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Mum22boys]

It was a good run for me today Mum22 boys, I hope you are recovering from your recent injury and will soon be back to running.

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Well done to you, AlMorr, on your PB of 56.57 for 8K! Always good to have a PB 👏👏👏👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks, I don't get too many PB's now so it was nice to have one on Wednesday.

[Couchphoenix Graduate10]

Nice one AlMorr, 👏🏻👏🏻well done on your new 8k PB 💪🏻👍🏃‍♂️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thanks Couchphoenix, enjoyable run🏃🏾

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Think i missed this post, that’s a great run for you Al and brilliant time

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

That's OK W&S, that was two weeks ago, that time was 56.57, last Wednesday, 9th December it was even better when I ran another 8K in a time of 56.52, its high time I ran another 10K, I may do that next Wednesday.

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

I think I commented on the more recent one I get a bit lost to be honest and miss a lot on work days

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

👍 🏃🏾 You are doing a great job, congratulations 🎊 😊
