Almorr ran 10 miles

[AlMorr]

Just completed UnfitNoMore'quest to run 10 miles by the end of July, I ran non stop and only had a drink when I completed the run.

[Nilsam Graduate]

Fabulous. Well done 👍😎

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Thanks Nilsam🏃🏾👍✅

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Al that’s amazing, such a good feeling when you complete what you set out to do

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you WillowandSola, I ran non stop because if I had stopped it would have been more difficult to restart, especially the last 6 km 🏃🏾👍

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

It’s a huge long way I’m so proud of you, because if you can we can

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

You are thinking of running 10K or 10 miles(16K) in the future, a great 'goal' to achieve.

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

A huge goal but some th omg to aim for when the summer heat cools a little

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

The exact route I hoped to run would have been very muddy, if it had been yesterday I would have ran on that part of the route, perhaps if I have trail shoes I would have ran on it, as it was my shoes were very wet for the first time ever, wet but not muddy, I might run another 10 miles in the future on the course I couldn't run today, I have no intention on going further than 10 miles, so no half marathon for me.

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I wanted to manage a half marathon but Willow is happy with what he does and as we run together it would mean me being out a long time training without him so i just do a bit extra here and there I ran 8k so 10k is achievable and after that 10 miles may be

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

I am sure you will be able to run a 10K soon, after my experience on running 10 miles, just over 16K I think that is long enough for me to run, makes 10K/6 miles seem a short distance.

[JeanneMary Graduate]

Amazing! 10 miles!! Well done.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to JeanneMary]

Thank you JeanneMary✅✅👍

[cheekychipmunks Graduate]

Superstar Al! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you cheepychipmunks, I actually made a mistake in my excitement on completing 10 miles that I posted my report of my run here on C25K, then I remembered that my report should have been on the Marathon post which it is now with the words 10 miles next to my username, good run for me in the rain, non stop, I was going to stop at 10K but just decided to continue because if I had stopped it would have been more difficult to restart.

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes I saw posted on both forums Al. It doesn’t matter, it shows the C25Kers what can happen afterwards! 🎉🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

So I am now with "the big boys and girls." on the Marathon forum, hmmm🏃🏾😊

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Well I’m there Al, and you’re quicker than me! It’s still a super friendly forum and you’ll recognise the vast majority of the names. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

[PlymBorn]

Wow !! That is some feat !! Well done 👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to PlymBorn]

Thank you very much PlymBorn

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

Awesome stuff! Way to go you!! 😁👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Way to go indeed, Birdlady64, thanks for the compliments.

[RunaroundSue]

Well done AlMorr

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

Thanks Sue, I enjoyed that run this morning, apart from the weather, if it had been dry I probably would have had a short rest at 10K but the rain was at its heavyiest and I just continued running.

[RunaroundSue in reply to AlMorr]

Best to keep going, especially if it was raining

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

You are correct Sue, however, I feel for myself, 10K is my maximum happy distance, over 10K, unless anyone has been doing specialiest training which I have not been doing, 10K is the longest they should run, so from now on 10K will be my longest run, I will NOT go for the Half Marathon distance.

[RunaroundSue in reply to AlMorr]

I have no desire to go beyond 10K. 8K suits me best

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

👍 🏃🏾

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

PS Update, I have run, apart from 5K's more 8Ks than any other distance, I suppose the reason for that is that is for me an hour of running, my times for 8K have varied from just under an hour to 34 seconds over the 60-minute mark.

[RunaroundSue in reply to AlMorr]

Unusually, I ran 10.6km today.

10 minutes running, 1 minute walking, so very leisurely. 1.33.10

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

Well done, have you passed Loch Lomond on your Lejog journey?

[RunaroundSue in reply to AlMorr]

I was at Ardvorlick yesterday. I haven't put today's in yet because we go out for a short walk late afternoon to get the last of the daylight.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

You are now in the heart of The Scottish Highlands.

[RunaroundSue in reply to AlMorr]

I have just passed the Falls of Falloch, heading towards Crianlarich

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to RunaroundSue]

Crianlarich is a milestone destination in the famous West Highland Way, there is also a railway station there, the West Highland Railway Line splits just after Crianlarich, north goes parallel to the West Highland Walkway to Fort William, west goes to Oban on the west coast of Scotland, east, the way you will be going on LeJog goes through the heart of the Highlands to eventually join the A9 which goes to Inverness and onto Wick near John O Groats.

[RunaroundSue in reply to AlMorr]

Also a milestone on a long journey to the Western Isles. Not far to the Green Welly services

[Jacqui2402 Graduate]

Well done!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Jacqui2402]

Thanks Jacuqui2402, I enjoyed my run this morning.

[Grannyasbo Graduate]

Great run great distance. Well done Al. So impressed. 👏👏👏👏

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Grannyasbo]

Thank you very much Grannyasbo, good run for me today 👍🏃🏾✅

[Fifitrixiebell73 Graduate]

Well done Al! That's a fair trek!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Fifitrixiebell73]

Yes, it is a fair trek, especially when I didn't stop for a drink which I intended to do at the 10K distance, because of the rain ☔ at that point, I just kept going until I completed the run, then had a drink of diluted orange juice from my water bottle in my running belt.

[SJ60]

Amazing! Well done 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to SJ60]

Thanks SJ60🏃🏾😊👍

[Dtay1978 Graduate]

Wow, that’s incredible, well done 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Dtay1978]

Thanks Dtay1978😊🏃🏾🎓

[Roxdog Graduate]

Oh my goodness, that's amazing!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

Hi, not sure about amazing, the weather was amazingly wet, especially when I was at the 10K point, so wet I just continued running until I completed the run by which time I was drenched and the ☔ rain was much lighter. 😊 🏃🏾 I immediately changed when I got home, all I was wearing were a T Shirt and shorts, I think people who were out shopping with rain coats must have thought I was a bit odd dressed as I was, but who cares, I had just ran 10 miles without stopping. 😊 🏃🏾

[Roxdog Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Haha! Yes I sometimes get people looking at me oddly first thing in the morning when this not so young woman goes out in a running vest when it's chilly!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Roxdog]

👍 🏃🏾

[PurpleFish59 Graduate]

Congrats AlMorr, great run today!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to PurpleFish59]

Thanks PurpleFish59, I enjoyed my run this morning despite the rain ☔

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

Wowee 👏👏👏👏👏

Well done Mister!

That’s what I call a SERIOUS run!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tinytears60]

Thank you Tinytears60, it won't be long until you complete the 30 minutes consolidation runs, then you can try Ju Ju's Magic 10 plan if you want to run a 10K, after that if you wish to you could try gradually to get to ten miles.

[lexi6 Graduate]

Fantastic achievement Alan and non stop in the rain too. Well done Awesome Al. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Thank you Lexi6, most of the run was ran in rain, it meant that I could not run in the woods where I know where it is very muddy when it is raining, I feel fine.this morning, no sore legs, I will go my usual Thursday morning walk, next run will be my 6th (not) parkrun on Saturday morning.

[grumpyoldgirl Graduate]

Fab-U-LOUS Al! On a useless tablet with no emojis, but there are fireworks, bunting and huge applause from myself to yourself

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Thanks grumpyoldgirl, I can see those fireworks and hear the applause, this morning I walked part of the route I ran yesterday, seemed a bit strange walking, I met a man who said he was running a 5K and wished him luck.

[Sonia52 Graduate]

Well done!!! 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

Thanks Sonia52, it's now 3 1/2 months since I ran that 10 miles run, I am gradually getting back to longer runs, next Wednesday I am thinking of running a 12K and I will see how that goes to get back to my second 10 miles run later in November.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Running 10 miles/16k is my next plan. Currently i have 1 more run left which is a ‘5k race’ on my Garmin coach timed 5k plan which had me running up to 12k!! My goal being a 29 minutes 5k. It was a good thing I did Ju Jus magic 10k plan beforehand! Now I just need to find a plan that gets me up to 10 miles. A half marathon seems way too ambitious for me at the moment, and I need a much welcome break from all those Garmin speed and hill repeats 😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

They say if you can run 10 miles, just over 16K that by running a little slower you can run a further 5K which is 21K/13 miles, a half marathon, that is the theory, in practice, bit more of a challenge, when I ran 10 miles, although naturally tired I felt as if my legs were about to come off, I was slowing down with every kilometer after 12, I just made the ten miles, I doubt if I could have ran a further 5K/3 miles.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I’d be happy with just 10 miles for now 😂 I feel comfortable with doing 10k now and actually prefer it to 5k. Nice and steady... But the two times I have done 12k I just start to hurt and it feels like my absolute limit. But the Garmin coach plan has been intense with me now running four times a week. I am looking quite forward to doing some free and unplanned runs, just running for the sake of running.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

And oh!! I registered this morning for the London 10,000 next May! Hopefully...

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

It will be another virtual run, I don't think that mass running events will begin at the EARLIEST until Autumn 2021

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

😢

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sonia52]

BUT if they can get a mass inoculation program going by the end of this year or early in 2021, we could have mass events, including parkruns going by April 2021, but at the moment that looks highly unlikely.

[Sonia52 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I know... Well I thought i would register just in case, and it did say money back if cancelled or postponed. Missing punk gigs too and friends but that is another international community... Some runners in that too though

[LittleMissie]

Well done, that’s amazing 💪🏻🙂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to LittleMissie]

Thank you LittleMissie.
