Nice run for me this morning, my 36th 10K for this year's Healthunlocked Spring edition, I began my run at 7.50am in lovely cool conditions, partly sunny with a temperature of 10C, only saw two other runners and a few dog walkrs, my 5K split time was 34:29 which was my 153 rd (not) parkrun and my full 10K time was 1:12:20, I set my metromone app at 170 bpm, overall quite pleased with my run this morning. π ππΎ
Almorr HU Spring 10K : Nice run for me this... - Bridge to 10K
Almorr HU Spring 10K
Well done AlMorr !
Well done Al on you 10k! ππ₯³ππand a super time. I can only dream of times like thatππ.You did great.
Well done Al, that's a great time and you sound lovely ke you have noted the 10k
Thank you very much Sola, I am gradually getting a little faster running 10Ks using my metromone app, last week I set my cadence at 166 bpm and ran that 10K in a time of 1:13:19, this morning I set it before the run at 170 bpm, my time was 1:12:20, it's not guaranteed that the higher I set the app the faster I will run, it's all to do with stride but it does help a bit,
I never thought of using a metronome app, I remember you mentioned it before. I might give it a go once I'm back on continuous running
Great tike Al and very well done to you! A lovely run x
Congratulations Alan! A brilliant run for you! πββοΈβ€οΈπͺ
Well done AL Morr great time. Lovely day for a run or walk. π
Wow AlMorr! That's such a great time! Your an inspiration sir. Very well done.
Great run, Al - well done! πππ
Sounds like you had a lovely run in nice weather for running. Well done!
It was a lovely day to run my HU Spring 10K, no rain, no big puddles and where there used to be a muddy path through the woods, that part has now been resurfaced making it much more pleasant to run or walk.
Fantastic achievement and time AlMorr for your 36th 10k. Congratulations
Sounded lovely Alβ¦you talked about this route in a previous post didnβt you.
Always good to note the 5k split for a NotParkRun too! ππΌ
Well done Al πAnd - just now see you are an Ambassador! They made a VERY good choice πππππππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»
I am very happy to have become an ambassador Irish John, I have been with Healthunlocked since I found it on the Internet as early as September 2017, at first I thought C25K was something to do with running 25 kilometers but quickly realised what it is now, I enjoyed my 10K run on Wednesday, to quote the late great Tim ".keep running keep smiling" I am sure you do that as well John, I ran my only Half Marathon in memory of Tim last November, it was very long compared to my normal 5K and 10K runs.
Tim is much missed for sure Al. And yes, a HM is definitely a different run than a 10k - well done on finishing ππ»
.... but to quote you John "a marathon is a beast compared to a half marathon"
It is!!! Whoever said 'Its just two HMs done back to back" never tried one lolI'm glad I did one, as hard as it was and as fortunate as I was that no way could I get an Uber at mile 23 - but apart from the event itself, the time and effort that you need to train is just not practicable or - to me - worth it. I might do a HM again, but I really cannot concieve of another FM. But in truth, HMs really don't appeal - Ten Milers will probably be my limit, if even those, from now on - simply enjoyable challanges rather than "How hard can I push myself again" π
I'm not surprised you're pleased, great 10k run Al...well done ππ
Thatβs a great 10k time Al. Youβre very disciplined to follow a metronome. Well done!
Thanks Mudita11, the metronome does help a bit to regulate my cadence.
