A gentle 10K

[AlMorr]

After the London Vitality Virtual 10,000 I ran two weeks ago, this morning I ran my 26th 10K, I set out to do two things, to get a sub 60 minutes 8K split and a sub 75 minutes 10K, I managed both, my 8K split time was 59.26 and ran the full 10K in a sub 75 minutes time of 1:14:18, all in all for me that was a gentle 10K, about five minutes slower than two weeks ago.

Well done AlMorr - impressive!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to 59er]

Yes, I just took it at a slower pace than two weeks ago. 😊

[Beatlesforever Graduate10]

Very impressive! Well done on achieving both your goals, a great 10k for you 💪🏃‍♂️ 👏👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

Thanks, I might try for 16K /10 miles sometime this year, perhaps in a fortnight.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

How exciting! Have you done 10 miles before?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

I have ran 5/10 mile runs, the last one was on October 6th 2021 which was my fastest, run in a time of 2:01:02, so it's high time to have another go at that distance.

[Beatlesforever Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Oh wow, 5 already! So you'll know what to expect. Good luck with it, I look forward to reading your post about your 6th 😁

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beatlesforever]

The way I felt this morning and two weeks ago was I might be able to continue for a bit longer, so who knows my 6th ten miles run might be possible. 😊 🏃🏾

Go you xxx We do have our moments us seasoned runners, don't we! I remember my very first 10 miles!!! So exciting!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

That is correct Oldfloss, I also remember my first 10 miles run, it was raining but I just continued on until the run was completed, it was so exciting 😊👍🏃🏾

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

It was raining when I did mine!!! Xxx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

If the rain isn't too heavy and it's not blowing a gale I will be running as normal, very icy weather is dangerous for running in which case I won't run. 🏃🏾

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10 in reply to AlMorr]

Ice is a non -starter . X

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes but after a run I enjoy an ice cream swirl, I did mention that in my recent report on finishing that London Vitality Virtual 10,000, when I came home the ice cream was delicious 😋.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Frenc]

Thanks Frenc, it was a bit of a so so run after last weeks 100th not parkrun and the London Vitality Virtual 10,000 two weeks ago, but a 🏃🏾 run is a 🏃🏾 run 👍

[Doris8 Graduate10]

Well done AlMorr so impressive. Brill for a slow pace!!👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Doris8]

Thanks Doris8, that was a nice run at a slow pace. 😊 👍

[HeavyFoot Graduate10]

Another great run under your belt, Al. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to HeavyFoot]

Indeed HeavyFoot, I enjoyed my run this morning 🏃🏾

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate10]

Well done my friend...you just keep on clocking up the kilometers xx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes Floss, onwards and upwards, slow and steady 🏃🏾 👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate10 60minGraduate]

What a good run Al, sounds like you enjoyed it too

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

I did enjoy my run this morning W&S, 👍🏃🏾😊

😀👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to SueAppleRun]

We all love running Willow and Sola, I am sure you love it as well 🏃🏾

[Jools2020 Graduate10]

Great running, Al! Well done for achieving those goals 👏👏👏👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Jools2020]

Thanks Julia, I enjoyed that run on Wednesday, I might try a 10 mile run in a few weeks' time at a slightly quicker pace.

[Beachcomber66 Graduate10]

Good discipline Al. Running too fast too often is a recipe for a short cut to the IC…don’t I know it! A good solid sensible run. Have some ice cream!! 🍨🍧🍦

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Beachcomber66]

You are so correct, I don't want to end up on the IC, when I got home I enjoyed my chocolate ice cream whirl.
