QE Olympic Park 10k

[Steve_L]

Just a quickie to share my happiness

Ran in the Mo Farrah Foundation QE Olympic Park 10k today on my newly healed achilles. It was a good run, and my 10k time was 57:57 with a 5K split of 29:59. 317 of a field of 760.

Nice one Steve!

A sub 60 minute 10K? Wow!

Seems like you've recovered from your injury big time!

I can only stand back in awe as you go onwards and upwards.

I squeezed under 60 minutes at a race in September (59:25) and was hoping to do it again, but I'm shocked to go sub 58!

Glad you made it in one piece. Excellent time Steve!

Well done Steve. Congratulations. So glad your heel was ok and withstood the rigours. You have no idea when you set off do you whether it will or not, and I don't know about you but I was quite fearful today. You can make yourself go daft with worry so best just do it and see how it pans out. We had been free wheeling for a fair while though ey.

You got a medal!!!!!! Very swanky it is too! So jealous. Hmfff!

Brilliant! That's a cracking time for the 10k, and the 5k split. You must be absolutely delighted 😀

I love the tee shirt -think I'd wear it every day if it was mine

[Steve_L Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thanks, AM. Yes, I'm still aglow. Couldn't believe it as I got inside the last K and saw my pace/time - spent ages doing mental calculations working out what time I might get!

[no-excuse Graduate]

Very nice shirt & medal! Well done on a fantastic time, I hope your Achilles feels ok today x

[Steve_L Graduate in reply to no-excuse]

It does! Just been for the last follow-up with my osteopath and a massage of my legs - I feel pretty good
