After an incredible day yesterday celebrating Dan’s marathon at Brighton, today I want to shine a light on a few more brilliant runners in our community who’ve also had some big recent moments.
Each of these runners has shown up, dug deep and achieved something worth recognising and while their paths may look different, the effort, consistency and commitment behind it all is exactly what makes this community so special.
Matt & Wendy both took on the Derby 10K this weekend and absolutely smashed it. Solid performances from two runners who continue to show up and give it their all – Their commitment has been spot on and it really showed on the day.
Jayne brought her signature energy and enthusiasm to the Rasselbock event at Clumber Park, where she completed the full marathon distance with determination, great spirit and of course, plenty of chat along the way. Jane throws herself into everything she does and this was no exception. A huge effort, and an even bigger personality to match it
Sarah hit a 5K parkrun PB this weekend too, a huge step forward and a reflection of the work she’s been putting in consistently. Sharp, strong and definitely more to come.
Jamie rounded off his final long run this weekend as he heads into his taper for the Manchester Marathon in 3 weeks. That last long one is a big mental and physical checkpoint and he’s handled it brilliantly, locked in and ready.
Massive well done to every single one of you. You’ve each shown what’s possible when you commit, stay consistent and back yourselves and it’s been a privilege to see that unfold.
So proud of what you’ve all achieved and excited for what’s still to come.
