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 😊

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 πŸ€”πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

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.

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.

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.

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

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 :)
