Thank you for organising this challenge. I'd planned to do the 10k, but had to dial back to the 5k instead 🥲 but here's the upside....this is the only race I've ever been too fast to win!! 🤣

This has cheered me up considerably after yesterday's pathetic attempt at 10km along the canal - I just could not coordinate my legs and my breathing.😬

So, now I've got three weeks to transform myself from 🦖 to 🫏..........

Thank you for taking part!Did you run 10k yesterday or did you try, but cut it short when things felt tough? Either way, you were out and running and that's a win!!! It's the hard runs that make us stronger, in body and in mind.

Training runs are often harder than races - there's less magic in the air! Don't despair 🥰

No, I covered 10 km of ground - a lot of it involved puffing and panting though! But I lived up to my name of running beetroot 🥵

[linda9389 Graduate10 in reply to Runningbeetroot]

That is definitely a win!Have you tried any of the NRC guided runs? There's a 35 minute easy run called 'Suckcess Run'; coach Bennett talks about how every run is a victory ... no matter how much it feels like it sucks at the time . It's a great one to listen to after a run that felt tough 😊

Well done everyone who participate 👏 and thank you
