Community track high fives

Sunday 9th Aug Share

Longest run 🏃‍♀️ completed

Sunday 9th Aug Today I ran the longest distance I’ve ever ran. For anyone who has ran a marathon, 15 miles isn’t a big run at all in comparison and I genuinely have so much respect for anyone that has ran 26 miles - oft!!! Big it was big for me - and I’m feeling more confident about the big Run2Paris in 4 and a half weeks time. Was great seeing Angela on the track and running my last 3.5 miles with ma Julie! Share

You can’t beat a supportive community around you

Tuesday 28th Jul We are all doing this challenge for more than a love of a challenge and exercising. Raising money for the Samaritans, a charity that do exceptional life saving work through bringing human connection to people in times of distress and personal vulnerability is important to us all. Training with great friends and our Bootcamp community, being sponsored and supported by family and friends reminds me daily how much of an impact a supportive community around people has. The Weir Outdoor Training community is exceptional - they are a group of amazing people who I know would rally for anyone in their tribe and are always there to cheer each other on - whatever their goal is. Thanks for Share

It’s getting very real!

Tuesday 28th Jul We’ve had four team meetings, 3 packets of Paris chocolate biscuits, a LOT of training runs, two sets of checklists, sleeping kit orders arrived, and on consecutive run days training now. Share
