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. 😊 πŸƒπŸΎ

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

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10β€’ in reply toBeatlesforever

I think it does help a bit regarding cadence, the app goes from 1 beat a minute to 300, however, for my runs I set it from 166 BPM for slower runs to 176 BPM for short faster runs, my PB for 10K is 1:08:44 back in November 2021, I think my cadence for that run was 174 BPM

Sounds like you had a lovely run in nice weather for running. Well done!

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10β€’ in reply toBirdlady64

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.

Birdlady64 profile image
Birdlady64Graduate10β€’ in reply toAlMorr

I wish that would happen to the path down into the woods near me.

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10β€’ in reply toBirdlady64

Complain about the state of the path to your local council, that's what we did and was successful.

Sounded lovely Al…you talked about this route in a previous post didn’t you.

Always good to note the 5k split for a NotParkRun too! πŸ‘πŸΌ

AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10β€’ in reply toLottieMW

It was lovely LottieMW, I did post photos of my regulator route recently, I like (not ) parkruns whether it's just a 5K or a split with a longer run.

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.

Irish-John profile image
Irish-JohnGraduate10β€’ in reply toAlMorr

Tim is much missed for sure Al. And yes, a HM is definitely a different run than a 10k - well done on finishing πŸ‘πŸ»

AlMorr profile image
AlMorrAmbassadorGraduate10β€’ in reply toIrish-John

.... but to quote you John "a marathon is a beast compared to a half marathon"

Irish-John profile image
Irish-JohnGraduate10β€’ in reply toAlMorr

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" πŸ™‚

That’s a great 10k time Al. You’re very disciplined to follow a metronome. Well done!

Thanks Mudita11, the metronome does help a bit to regulate my cadence.
