Are you sure they needed the 10-10-10?
According to my soil tests, mine usually only need a little N; I use
fishmeal. Your soils and previous amendment applications are probably
different from mine, of course; so what yours need is likely to vary
from my results.
I don't know whether that might affect runnering.
