I want to thank @runthroughuk for allowing us to run our races virtually. No its not ideal but actually its just the push i needed to get out and run this morning. I love the chase sun/moon series at the Olympic park and i cant wait to get back to them in the future but for now (whilst I can) I will continue to support them by doing them virtually . I hope everyone is doing ok i know its a tough time for us all but we will get through it so stay sensible and stay safe ❤ . Also on a lighter note…Why does my hand look like a chicken foot ?? . @styledbytikiboo @tikiboofitness . . #virtualrun #virtualrace #socialdistancing #instarun #tikitribe #tikiboo #thisgirlcan #strongnotskinny #active #keepfit #getfit #fitmum #fitfam #marathontraining #runnersofinstagram #instarunner #runchat #ukrunchat #runnerslife #motherrunner #styledbytikiboo #cardio #staypositive #chasethesun #runthroughuk

After the recent cancellations of the Tokyo, Boston & the Run GP Bedford Autodrome marathons due to COVID-19, and not wanting to waste all the marathon training I’d done since November ?, I decided to submit a virtual marathon as offered by the Bedford GP Autodrome & Twin Lakes 20 events. (Twin Lakes can be longer than 20 if we wish). Not something I’d normally do as I thrive better on the race day buzz and atmosphere that often drives me over a marathon distance. This was lacking today except for the support of @sabine_stratford_1987 who rode her bike offering me water and shot bloks, not to mention the occasional passer by comments such as ‘here he comes again’ as I went up and down the Waddesdon Greenway several times. I found it very difficult today and completely different mentally to running an actual event! At times I felt like I couldn’t be bothered anymore and was even tempted to call it a day at 20 miles. But I pushed through. It was a sunny day but lots of head wind in one direction. There were also many many people out walking dogs, riding bikes and walking to navigate around. Also, not a flat route! As I wasn’t going for a PB, I’m happy with 3:00:03. Close to a sub 3 though ?. Actually quicker than I intended. #marathontraining #marathon #cancelledplans #cancelledrace #covid_19 #runningmotivation #running #runnersofinstagram #runthroughuk #twinlakes20 #virtualrace #virtualrunning #virtualmarathon #bostonmarathon #tokyomarathon #waddesdonmanor #waddesdon #waddesdongreenway

@runthroughuk GP Bedford Autodrome (virtual) 5k race done! ??‍♀️✅ Route was easy to follow, support a little lacking and photographer ok but no @sebhiggins ???‍♀️ It was a 35 min “cruise” run for me today, so I took this as my opportunity to get the 5k done for today’s sadly missed RunThrough race with an out and back from home. ?? – – – As a small business it’s heartbreaking to see them not able to do what they do best, so I wanted to play my part and sign up for the virtual event. ??⌚️ With my gym membership paused, I have no qualms signing up for a few of these per month until all of this craziness is done. I’ll be saving money on my London coffee anyway! ☕️??‍♀️ – – – Who else got out for a run today? I’ll be keeping up my walking/running as long as I can throughout this pandemic. ?? It’s important to me to be able to get outside while I can, and I’ll be doing it as responsibly as possible, which includes sticking to quiet routes and potentially going at less popular times. We’re all in this together, right?! ??☺️ – – – #runthroughuk #runwithheart #supportsmallbusiness #bedfordautodrome #runninggrandprix #returntorunning #marathontraining #marathoner #springmarathon #runnerscommunity #whyirun #runnersofinstagram #ukrunners #ukrunchat #runhappy #lovetorun #irunthisbody #womensrunninguk #girlswhorun #thisgirlcan #strongisnotasize #beatyesterday #strongerfaster #runstrong #runningsmarter #askrunningsmarter
