So that was an interesting experience!

2.5miles road race i set off way to fast and completely fluffed it! Still managed to recover it and finished it with a run in 39.25

It was very hilly one and far tougher than I thought it would be! Hey I finished in last in place but I did it!

Week 5 Run1 done

To finish is the aim position is irrelevant.

the best bit was watching my Twoyear old Grandson run his 1st race with his Dad so cute! Then his dad did the 10mile race and he ran home to make it his 1/2 marathon! So today was a family run day 😂

Thank you! I was just pleased to have walked Run it! Lots to learn from it! Warm up more. Get more hill runs in! Hill sprints to help with this! Don’t go of to fast!

It was fun that’s what counts

We are all learning all the time, I think most people go off too fast in races when they are new to it

That’s fantastic-well done to you! Have I got it right that you ran a week 4 run? Not many people do those at races and your app should have given you an extra big tick if so! 🏃‍♀️🏅🎉

Just checking you know your full name is visible in your picture?
