VRWC - 5.43k in 38:14 mins

[Mands50]

Yay completed my qualifying run - 3k in 21 mins. Also ran the furthest I ever have in a quicker time than my normal 5k time. Weather was perfect and I felt good today, makes such a difference to your run when you feel positive. Also used the Jenni Falconer, Runpod to listen to and it distracted me enough not to think of times or distance more than my usual music did, which helped too 😊

We discover new strengths about ourselves in this Run Journey plus innovative ways to distract ourselves🤣 well done🇬🇧👏

Thanks Annieapple, my last run was much shorter and felt really hard so was dreading today. But instead of feeling awful I actually really enjoyed it. I never would have believed I’d be saying I enjoyed running 10 weeks ago 🤔🏃‍♀️

Go Team GB 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[Mands50 in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Almorr, well done on your 6k today and your 10.45 total 👏👍

I saw about 20 other runners today, I am just wondering if any of them were running in the VRWC GB. team, usually on a Saturday morning when I am not at parkrun, there are some runners, but not as many as today, usually around 4 or 5.

[Mands50 in reply to AlMorr]

Could be but could also be the nicer weather today. Running around the woods and lake taking in nature made my run time much more enjoyable.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Mands50]

Where I am in Central Scotland all those runners including myself were running in cloudy weather with very light rain falling, not much but nevertheless a little wet.

[Mands50 in reply to AlMorr]

Oh dear - rain stayed away down south today. Hope the weather improves for you.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate10 in reply to Mands50]

I know that the some parts of the South of England had a very wet day on Wednesday, or was it Thursday, very heavy rain, this morning's light rain suited some runners to keep them cool, it did not cause any flooding to occur.

Well done! I just started listening to RunPod, they had Anna Harding on from the Running Channel, love her so had a listen to that on my long run today

[Mands50]

That’s the one I was listening to - she’s great and kept me interested as I ran 😀
