From struggling to run for 1 minute to completing her first half marathon in 2:34.
This is Solene’s progress over the last three years at Vectis.
She’s lost over 20kg, competed in two CrossFit competitions, completed a hybrid event and now has her first half marathon under her belt.
Going into the race, she was worried about her leg pain and whether she’d finish within the 3-hour cut-off.
We kept her training manageable with 2 runs a week, 3 strength sessions and daily mobility work.
We also worked on her nutrition, making sure she was properly fuelled before race day.
She finished in 2:34, 11 minutes quicker than the time she’d hoped for, with no leg pain and a new 10K PB of 1:09 during the second half.
For context, her first 10K two years ago took 1:32.
What I love about Solene’s progress is that she’s continued getting stronger, fitter and more confident while building a routine she can maintain.
She’s put in the work, followed the programme and trusted the process.
Really proud of you, Solene. Enjoy this one.
