Kicking off July was the Pigum ultra and our Stronger Together runners (a collaboration with Into Ultra to support first time ultra runners). Wrapping up an incredible six months, they completed their goals *and* are planning their next ultras - project officially successful. 🎉
They weren't alone though - S&C client Leanne ran her first ultra (and then ran Porthcawl 10k the day after 🤯) while Bron completed her second – picking up a marathon PB in the process. 🏅
Ben D and Ben SJ had cracking trail debuts, finishing 4th and 5th overall in the Pigum half. 🏆🏆 They had a busy month, as Ben D took 5 mins off his PB at Magor 10k, while Ben SJ did the double – breaking 36 mins at Magor 10k and 17:30 SSAFA 5k a few days prior. 🏅🏅🏅 Huge well done lads!
Magor saw George nail his run in the midst of tri training, while our very own superwoman Lou completed her first “triathlon” at Outlaw. Unfortunately the swim was replaced by an extra run, but learning two extra disciplines on top of running and life - massive congrats Lou, you're awesome 🦸♀️
Ben L kicked off ultra training with a hilly 10k race in Shrewsbury, and Keri finished strongly in her first race in a while at the Wye Tunnel 10k. 👏👏At Porthcawl, Jen beat her target goal by 4 mins 🌟, while PB queen Lorraine added another 5km and 10km PB to her tally. 🏅
Relay season continued – with Ash, George, Laura taking on the Cotswolds hills, while Sarah, and past and present S&C clients Grace, Tom and Jon nailed the dunes of the Rabbit Run relay. 🎉
Dewi and I had fun at RunSwimRun (me slightly more as I caught the ferry across the river Wye, while Dewi did it properly and swam)🛟. He followed this with a super consistent run at the Viaduct 5 mile race 🏆
Finishing as we began, at Race to the Stones, Alex P, Hayley and Borja all completed their first ultras - a massive achievement, particular in 30+ degree heat, while I moaned my way around the 100k. Seriously - hot. 🎉🫠
This week is a big one for me - as RunVive turns TWO! 🎂🎊🎈A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me - you runners and S&Cers make RunVive what it is. 🫶You are all, frankly, brilliant. Roll on year three...
