'The real purpose of running isn't to win a race, it's to test the limits of the human heart' ...

...even more relatable when all your races are virtual time trials 🏃♀️ @ Bath, Somerset https://t.co/G3Zzc4Yg7O
Practicing my race day focus, or contemplating why I signed up to a virtual 5mile race?

10 x my normal race distance and got my pacing spectacularly wrong but it hurt so good. @ Bath, Somerset https://t.co/FYg7uQxbix
