Almorr HU 10K PB

[AlMorr]

This morning I ran my 20th 10K, which was the Autumn Healthunlocked 10K, it was a very nice run, weather cool, temperature 6C, I ran it in a PB time of 1:08:44, beating my previous PB of 1:09:23 which was ran in September 2019.

[Instructor57 Graduate10]

Nice run Al.And great you got a new PB !

Well done 😁👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

Thanks Instructor57, yes, I enjoyed getting that PB today, I began the run at exactly the same time as the sun rose

[Instructor57 Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Always a great time to start !Can't beat a good sunrise run 🌞

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Instructor57]

On my old Smartphone which I used when doing C25K I now keep the local sunrise and sunset times, so for some of my midweek runs I know exactly when the sun rises and begin the run, today the sun rose at exactly 07.59, you will notice on the above graph that I began my run at 07.59

[Woollyweaver Graduate10]

Well done AlMorr that's quite a milestone, and a great time too 👏. It looks like it might be a scenic route round some water too?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Woollyweaver]

It is my regular route around a loch not too far from where I live, very scenic, part of the course is where my local 10K takes place in September, although that was cancelled in 2020 and 2021, the local Christmas Santa 5K dash in December is also run on that course around Broadwood Loch, it was also cancelled in 2020 and this year, I have not ran the Santa Dash but several times I have ran on the same course, my PB time for that is 31.31 which was run during the summer.

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Well done Al and congratulations to you!! That’s brilliant 💪👏🥳 Just goes to show that consistency pays big rewards.

I hope you’re going to give yourself a wee treat 🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

Thanks Irishprincess, I was very happy with my run this morning, a treat, well I had a Cadbury Vanilla Ice Cream Flake 99 when I got home from that run today, 😋 yummy

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Oooh I haven’t had one of those for ages and now I really want one🍦

[Hidden]

Well done Al. Its always good to get a pb - especially with a 10k. Bravo 👏 👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I was very pleased with my PB this morning Alan, thank you, we have the same name👍😊

[lexi6 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your 20th 10k Alan and a PB as well. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10]

Thanks Lexi6, I was hoping my run this morning would be sub 70 minutes and I could better my previous best of 1:09:23 which I ran on September 2019, that was my 4th 10K, this morning was No. 20, most of my 10K runs have been around 1:11 time, so I was very happy about todays PB.

[nowster Graduate10]

Well done! And a blooming good time too.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to nowster]

Thanks nowster, I like that "a blooming good time" I was hoping for a sub 70 minutes time so I am very happy with my PB time today 👍 😊 🏃🏾

[GTFC Graduate10]

Beating a two year old record ✅Taking nearly a minute off ✅

Inspirational ✅

Al Morr doing his thing. Congratulations buddy 👏👏🔥🔥🥳🥳🏅🏅

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to GTFC]

Thank you very much GTFC on congratulating me on my PB 10K run this morning, yes it was great breaking that two years wait for the PB today.

[Hidden]

Well done and with a PB even! Looks like a nice route you take, all around a lake?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

It is a nice route Evy, lake/loch as in Scotland, where I run there are 3 lochs, the one near to where I live, Drumpellier and the University of Stirling have a 5K parkrun around a loch.

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Great run and well done for the PB! 👏👏👏👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Jools2020, I enjoyed my run this morning 🏃🏾😊👍

[HeavyFoot Graduate10]

Great run, Al. Superb PB as well. You do go from strength to strength. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Thanks HeavyFoot, I am very happy that I got a sub 70 minutes 10K time today

[Cantstopmenow Graduate10]

Congratulation on your new PB. It looks like a lovely route too 👏👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Cantstopmenow]

It is a lovely route, I often 🚶 walk, 🚴 cycle and of course 🏃🏾 run along it, a local beauty spot.

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Well done Al, and a personal best to boot! That’s the way to do it 😁, hurrah 😃.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Hurrah indeed Frenc, any runner always is pleased with a PB irrespective of the distance, this is my third year of running since graduating from C25K, it is the best year of the three, I have had PB's on running at the 3 parkruns I run at, a PB for (not) parkrun, also PB's on running 10 miles and today for my 20th 10K, another personal best.

[Frenc Graduate10 60minGraduate in reply to AlMorr]

That’s PB (pretty bloomin’) brill 😁!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

👍 🏃🏾

[Week7 Graduate10]

Great run!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Week7]

Thanks Week7, I hope your runs are going well 👍 🏃🏾

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

Wow Al, a great run and PB too, congratulations to you

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you very much W&S, I enjoyed my run this morning🏃🏾 👍

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Well done AL great time again. Good time to get out in the morning as well. Nice area you live with the lochs and Stirling as well. Our nearest big loch isST. Mary’s loch where you can water ski on it and sail. 24 miles away.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

I was happy with my time today Doris8, I like you enjoy running in the morning, St Mary's Loch is in a very lovely area, probably surrounded by hills, but not so good for running.

[GailXrunning]

Congratulations! I imagine that’s a great spot for a 10k (or any distance).

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to GailXrunning]

Thanks GailXrunning, it is a great spot for running, cycling or walking, I have ran 10 miles 5 times around the loch and a few quiet streets as well 🏃🏾 👍

[grumpyoldgirl]

What a great run Al, and what a joy to still be knocking out those PB's!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Thanks grumpyoldgirl, it is very nice as you say "still knocking out PB's,", especially on longer runs, I noticed looking a the 1K splits that the last 3 kilometers of that run were negative splits, 7.10,6.56 and 6.41👍🏃🏾

[Mormor1 Graduate10]

Excellent run for you AlMor, no wonder you're chuffed. Do you swim in that loch?? Looks beautiful.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Mormor1]

I must confess that I can't swim, no one swims in that loch, sadly in 1995 a swimmer drowned in it, there are dangerous currents in that loch, I agree that my run yesterday was excellent, thank you, I am chuffed

[colinla Graduate10]

Well done on the PB Al. Makes it all the better 🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to colinla]

Thanks, colinla, I was very happy with that PB

[Folkylass Administrator]

Well done you Al. Smashing run!👍😀

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Folkylass]

I like that word 'smashing' for my run yesterday, thank you.

[Snail_Male]

Great work Almorr, smashed it! Looks like a lovely route as well.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Snail_Male]

It is a lovely route to run, cycle or walk, but no one swims in that loch as it has dangerous currents, even when it is frozen in the winter, no one ice skates on it.

[johnm12 Graduate10]

Well done. Sounds like a great run. Its a marvellous thing, this running lark isn't it?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to johnm12]

It was a great run johnm12, ha, this running lark has many people hooked, including me, although I only run twice a week, usually a Saturday and Wednesday, I look forward to them, on other days I go long walks.

[over61andstilltrying Graduate10]

Wow! Many congratulations on your 10km PB! 👏🏃🏻‍♂️ I see you are a man of an age where I have been led to understand that PBs are far harder to achieve. Brilliant!😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to over61andstilltrying]

I don't think I will get many more PB's, this year has been very good for them, a PB at all three parkruns, a (not) parkrun PB, recently I had a PB for the latest 10 miles run and yesterday a PB for my 20th 10K, so a good running year for me.

[Fionamags Graduate10]

Fantastic - a PB! Great stuff. Glad you enjoyed it.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Fionamags]

I did enjoy it Fionamags, good run and PB for me, thanks

[hamit Graduate10]

Fantastic 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to hamit]

Thanks hamit

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

Well done Al - accolades all round, especially for inspiring those of us who wonder if we ' really should be doing this'.Reading your post holds the answer.

Fantastic!

I wish you a good 2 Flake day if you fancy it! Best wishes ☺️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Raisemeup]

Thanks Raisemeup, ha, regarding the 2 Flake day, I have one when I get back from parkrun on a Saturday, a second one after my Wednesday run, they are in a packet of four, I take the other two usually around 2.30 pm on a Friday and at 9 pm on a Monday.

[Raisemeup 60minGraduate]

Haha 😂, who am I to interfere with the habit of a lifetime - you've obviously got it covered when it comes to Flakes!May you never 'run' out😉

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Raisemeup]

👍

[Freecloud Graduate10]

Congrats on 20th 10K Al, your a huge inspiration.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Freecloud]

Thank you very much Itchiscritchi, considering that I was never going to run more than 5K after my first parkrun, now I have run 20/10Ks and 5/10 mile runs, you can never say how many more +5K runs you will run🏃🏾 👍

[linda9389 Graduate10]

Congratulations on your new PB! That looks like a great place to run. I'll add your time to our results list.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to linda9389]

Thanks Linda9389, it is a great place to run🏃🏾

[Rachyee]

Hello , I have rarely posted on this forum , but I read it daily. I am part way through Jules magic plan after doing c25k in lockdown one. Reading your post has inspired me and given me the confidence to carry on .. I was having doubts that I would be able to get to running 60 mins. It is my running day tomorrow, I will be thinking of you and your Loch to keep me going. Thank you for your post. I saw it when I needed it most .

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Rachyee]

I am so happy to know that you were inspired to continue running after reading my post about the 10K I ran on Wednesday morning, I wish you good luck for your running journey through Ju Ju's Magic 10 plan, like C25K you can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to. 😊 🏃🏾 👍

[Hidden]

Fantastic run Al! Congratulations on your 10k PB 😊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏼

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Delly-dot, still recovering from that run yesterday, no, not really, after the run I took my neighbours dog Holly a walk in another park nearby to where I live, I hope Dabby dot is enjoying university.

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

She is, thank you Al and she is managing a few runs now and then in the local park 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Nice🏃🏾👍
