This weekend I ran Bristol 10k, a local and very friendly race around Bristol Harbourside. It was such a fun day out! Special shoutout to Dave who watched this channel and helped pace the race perfectly.
Obviously 'without training' is subjective and simply means after 3 months or so of messing around with inconsistent running, strength training and lots of holidays (and too much alcohol). I have, of course, still been running bits and bobs.

Great job Flora! Pretty speedy for any day of the week, let alone after a few months off and a hard night. Looking forward to seeing the next event you’re training for! On another note, thank you for sharing about your panic attack. You absolutely do not have to, but I know that you know that when we are open and share you not only help yourself but the 40.1 THOUSAND followers you have (holy moly when I first started watching you I think you were around 10k! Amazing.) ❤️

Great work Flora! Thanks for taking us along and great pacing job. I usually start out too fast and pay a price for it by the end. I love your thoughts about extra race stuff. some of it winds up being junk. I love my t shirts though but I've been known to pass along shirts with less than cool designs on to newer runners or to the local charity. I do admit to having a lot of them, especially someone who has been racing for nearly 20 years. love your enthusiasm for the sport and look forward to your next adventure.

Terrific race Flora! I imagine you will now aim for a faster time with a much better night prior to race day. Thank you for speaking about panic. I grew up in a generation that didn't understand or really acknowledge these events and they weren't talked about due to embarrassment, shame etc. Having people like you speak comfortably about panic attacks really helps to normalize such conditions and when people can talk about them it is a big step forward. Fabulous... run on!

Just ran the Helsingborg marathon where you have to tick on the entry form if you want a t-shirt (and give the size) and then pay extra. That means they have only the exact number they want made. It makes the shirt quite expensive but if it's a special race you'll pay.

This was my first 10k without ANY training, like none. I always hated running but when an ad for this race popped up on my Instagram I just went for it and signed up 2 days before. Wasn't sure I would even be able to finish it but I did, I wasn't fast but I did finish!

Very well done indeed Flora! I did the half marathon distance, and my response to the cobbles was also one of frustration. So taxing after pushing for so long - my first half, so definitely not used to the distance. But you're right, the atmosphere was brilliant! BTW, I got an email from Great Run afterwards asking for me to fill a feedback survey in, and there were a few questions around improving the sustainability of the event in there with regard to finisher mementos etc, so if you haven't already, go and fill that one in. Let's make running green!

In most races that I have entered in Australia the t-shirt is additional. I entered 8 races and only 3 include t-shirts. Tw0 are ~$400 and 1 was ~$200. No goody bags but a couple will have some aid station food at the end. The events all cost a lot of money but I don't know the splits between charity, event organisers, and local government (for road closures, police etc).

Well done Flora. Not taking the bag wouldn't have had much of an impact because they've already made up the pack so any spares would have just been thrown away. I think Tshirts should be an additional cost add on for all races. I recently did a local half marathon and the entry fee was cheap because you paid extra for the T-shirt. Even if races give the option to plant a tree or donate to charity, a lot of people think "well, I've paid for it so I may as well have it", which is fair enough to be honest. I didn't want a T-shirt so I got a cheaper race entry, everyone wins!!

Strange to have the panic attack after such a long gap. Hopefully it was a one off. I had a string of them a few years ago, and I'm fairly sure it was just due to having too many plates spinning all at once and too much on my mind.

Nice work! That's a fantastic 10K time. To note, for courses that are certified they cannot be short at all. So most courses will be a tiny bit long to as to be certified. And there is also GPS error. TBH, 10.07 (6.26) is the closest I have ever seen for the Garmin to 10K course. I have run certified courses at 6.35 (I was pissed at that one bc that would have been a PR).

@@FloraBeverley Yeah, I mean, I am speaking mostly from a USATF world, possibly it's different in the UK. But a local race, Old Pros 10K here in San Diego, in 2018 it was the course it was for 20+ years, 6.26 miles. In 2019 they had to "re-certify" it and then the course added this frustrating out and back near the end (it also is a jarring experience to have to 180 like that in the last mile) to make it long enough... then it registered 6.35 miles for me. Ultimately, I still call my PR the 2018 one even though I ran 3 seconds per mile faster in 2019.

Heya! I do for long hot runs, it's completely normal! I wear 'cycling shorts' (longer shorts, not actually shorts for cycling) - check out 2XU and allbirds, they have some good pairs! Also you can get creams like body glide that really help :)

When I did the Brighton Marathon last year they measured the course about 560m too long 😂

Haha yes obviously 😆I actually wanted to check if others had got slightly over or under, but ofc I go off the assumption that the chip time and distance are right
