[Instructor57 Graduate10]

See you on the start line Al 😁👍🏃‍♂️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

See you at the start line, if you look closely I have written that I will start the run at nine o'clock in the morning.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I've not thought that far ahead 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Still plenty of time to think about that😀

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

I don't even know what day I will run yet 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

????

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

its scheduled window is Saturday 29 May to Sunday 6 June

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

That's nine days🏃🏾

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Yes 👍

I shall wait for the weather forecast 🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

PS, just as a matter of interest, this Sunday morning I WALKED 🚶10K in a time of 1.47.31, that compares with last Wednesdays 10K RUN🏃🏾time of 1.13.08 on about 90% of the same route, according to Mapmywalk, I took 12,876 steps this morning.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Interesting 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Like me, I know that you like statistics Ian, when I run a 5K it's usually around 33/35 minutes, I often walk 5K, especially on a Sunday morning although today was 10K, my average walking times for 5K are around 53/56 minutes, I have cycled 5K in a time of 18 minutes going all out, of course some elite runners can go faster than that, it makes me appreciate on how fast those runners can run.

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Absolutely, I have also walked and cycled my 5k routes and as you say , makes you realise what some elites can do .I think at the moment you are running your 5 and 10k quicker than I am .

I'm around 38 Min for 5k although my PB is 32+

And 1hr:19 for my 10k

But at the moment I'm wanting to concentrate on distance and not too bothered about my pace 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Well done to you Ian 🚴🏃🏾🚶👍

[Birdlady64 Graduate10]

Very best of luck Al. I hope you will run another sub-75 minute run on the day😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks Birdlady64, I hope that my time will be in around 70/74 minutes, for the next few weeks I will run a 10K until I run the London Vitality Virtual 10,000 in early June. 🏃🏾👍

[RunaroundSue Graduate10]

Good luck to both of you 😀🏃🏾👍

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Nice! I got mine yesterday. I know I won't be able to run the whole 10k but I might go for a run/walk, see how it goes...

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

You are allowed to walk as well as run this 10,000 metres, you will note that Vitality are the same company that supports Saturday morning parkruns.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

That's great, I didn't know that. That makes me happy, I'll have a go 🙂

Thank you BuilderBoysMum.

[grumpyoldgirl]

Good luck, I'll have to look for my pom-poms!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Yes, you are running /walking it as well 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♀️

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to AlMorr]

The distance is a bit too far for me. I've managed a 7k walk this week, so I'm heading in the right direction. Not allowed to run at the moment, not even run/walk. I'm trying to be patient!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Sorry about that, I just hope it won't be too long before you can run again.

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you💕

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Just a little note to say that this morning I ran another practice run for the Vitality London Virtual 10,000, this morning it was my 12th 10K, my time was 1.13.03 which was 5 seconds faster than last week, I was passed by ONE runner who was running at about a 57 minutes 10K pace🏃🏾

[grumpyoldgirl in reply to AlMorr]

Just saw this, that's wonderful Al. Does it get easier to run those distances, as your body gets used to it, or is it always tough?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Still a bit hard but I can manage it OK, this morning I walked part of that 10K course to find a few variations to make the run more varied

[Hidden]

Hi Al did you enjoy your vitality London virtual 10k yesterday? Hope it went well for you. Looking forward to your post👍😀x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I did enjoy the run but disaster struck at the very end, the app failed to record the run, although I did remember my split 5K time of 35.50 which I used as my 51st not parkrun, the 10K was 1.11.45.This Saturday morning I intend to rerun it, hopefully this time there won't be any problems with the app and I can post it to Vitality.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

That’s a shame Al! Good luck for Saturday. I’m sure you get the result recorded successfully! 🤞🤞

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I hope so, on Wednesday I ran with the number around my waist, this Saturday I won't have it although I may run it with my Parkrun T Shirt.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Good luck anyway Al!😀👍x

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

👍 🏃🏾
