Edinburgh Race For Life

[sTrongFuse]

So, I did it. One 5.37k lap of Arthur's Seat in 38:29. The 5k bit was 36:17.

The conditions were idea, the participants (all 2,500) we're amazing and the support at the finish from the well wishers and early finishers was brilliant.

It was never going to be my fastest time given an ascent of 89m for the first half of the run, but I'm still chuffed to have done it and for the money raised so far.

Superb running... that’s some climb in the first half! I’m hoping that meant an easier second half! I’d be more than happy with that time on that route! Happy running.

It was, quite literally, all downhill after that...

[Debston Graduate]

Amazing, well done you! Great photo and I hope you're feeling on top of the world this evening!

Well done you , you should be so proud did you enjoy it😊😊

[sTrongFuse Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I definitely am. Also very relieved I didn't opt for the 10k. One climb up to the top road was enough.

Whew! I’ve walked up there a few times on visits & cant imagine running either up (puff, pant, explode) or down (face plant for sure!). Well done you. 👏🏼🎉👏🏼👍 And in a good time for a mass performance. 😄🎉
