We are extremely proud of everyone who took part today.
Woodhall Spa is a gorgeous place to race. The weather was lovely, the roads were fully closed, the marshals were fantastic, and the whole event was incredibly well organised.
Our team achieved some amazing PBs today, but three in particular deserve a special mention:
๐ ๐๐ข๐๐ค ๐๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ฌ โ ๐๐:๐๐
๐ ๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ ๐ โ ๐๐:๐๐
๐ ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐ง โ ๐๐:๐๐
The progress these three have made this year has been incredible and is a true inspiration to myself and many others. Their consistency, hard work and dedication are really paying off, and itโs been amazing to watch their journey unfold.
Iโd also like to congratulate my better half, Katie Dean, on another PB with a fantastic time of 52:04. Iโm incredibly proud of her. โค๏ธ
As for me, sadly the day didnโt quite go to plan. It was my 3rd fastest 10K time ever, but no PB. Around the 4โ5km mark my legs felt heavy, I had to back off the pace, and from then on the mental battle began.
Sometimes things donโt work out the way youโve planned. Itโs easy to feel disappointed, especially when youโve put months of hard work into something. But thereโs one thing I tell everyone, and today Iโm reminding myself of it too:

Whether you quit, do nothing, or stay consistent and keep trying, the time passes all the same. The difference is that only one of those paths gives you a chance to achieve your goals.
There is no deadline on success. In fitness, what matters most is staying consistent and enjoying the journey with the community around you.
Itโs that community that picks you up when youโre feeling down, and itโs that same community that will be standing beside you one day saying, โWell done, you did it!โ when you finally achieve that goal.
So, itโs back to training.
