Bit of training (and racing!) motivation if you're in need of some right now...and why you should always 'trust in the process'. An email from one of our brilliant #TeamTCUK athletes, Fiona Houston, who took part in the Endurance Life Half Marathon recently.

Hello!

I’ve finished!!! Time was 2:11:51 which I’m really pleased with.

The course was officially 13.4 miles but measured 13.75 miles on my watc.

Last May I ran the same event in 2:12:18 which (with a route change) was only 13.06 miles. So my main takeaway is that I managed a quicker time on a longer course, yey!

Weather was absolutely glorious, I ended up cramming my multiple layers in my bag and finishing in just a vest…in February!

The Northumberland coastline is stunning place to run and makes a fairly gruelling run so much more enjoyable.

Off to refuel, foam roll and put my feet up!

Enjoy your weekend

Fiona

P.S. Photo evidence below - the 2nd one is me being chased to the finish line by my 6yr old Faye, she pushed me to get under 2:12!
