Last weekend I ran my second race in this very tumultuous past year, and loved it!! I went to Oxford Half with Runna, the run coaching app I've been using for the last 2 years or so for all my races.
Although I wasn't going for a PB, it was great to stretch my legs in a way I've not been able to do for over a year! I had SUCH a great time, and loved the course as much as everyone said I would! What a joy. Who else was there??

Congratulations flora you are amazing! I know how it feels to have to start again. I did two half's this year and last year I was in chemo.
Congratulations to you!❤
@@Eightfathorses ah well done you!! So happy you’re back to it ❤️
Currently making my way through the Couch to 5k and wasn't sure if I'd relate to the videos as I'm not anywhere near runner level, but I love how motivating and transparent you are!
@@demi_m_j thank you! Good luck with your running 🥰
Awesome job Flora you smashed it!
I love Flora so much, she is always smiling 🥰 I am also running my first half-marathon this sunday and i am pretty sure, i will be NOT smiling, because running is so fucking hard 😄
Great job Flora! I totally get what you mean about starting off too slowly. I've only run a couple of races and have been setting quite conservative goals, because I thought I would be devastated if I didn't achieve my A-goal, but after a few of these I'm learning that I can try harder than I think. Part of the skill of racing is knowing what's the right amount of pain to be in at what stage!
Cognrats, Flora! You did great! Looks like everyone was having a great time.
Great video and congrats on a strong race! 🎉 I used to start way too easy as well, but doing more road races made me less scared to start off a little bit faster. Still slower than people around me, which usually means I can overtake them in the second half.
Awesome running Flora, you did amazing for not running any races for over a year, I was doing 01:28:00 half marathons last year, but been injured a lot of this year, I’ve done 3 half’s this year, slowly improving, 01:40:00 - 01:50:00 times this year, still really enjoy just taking part & getting that finish line feeling!, haha & a medals cool, keep up the good work 👍🌴👏👏🌲👊🏼😀🏃🏽♂️✅
!!!Congratulations, Flora!!!!. Great effort. Like from 🇪🇸 Spain. A nice weekend for everyone.
1:45 for a half? You did an outstanding race Flora! Great job and congratulations and, I also love your Vlogs. Keep them coming.
@@wilmertsch thank you so much!!
You made that look like a walk in the park, loved the moment you went woooh trail run 😂 huge well done, and really fantastic time, great video 👊👏🎉
Well done girlie nice to see ya back running races xxx
Wow, well done Flora, what a great time! 🎉
Congratulations on your first HM race, a beautiful negative split. I did the Oxford Half last year (2023), and enjoyed the flatness of the course. I think you made the right choice starting with the pacer that you did, though. You can ramp it up next time. You've caught the HM bug! Welcome to the cult (I've done around 20 HMs).
@@gwilymeades thank you!! Yes it’s a great distance. I’ll aim higher next time 😅
Congratulations. The Royal Parks Half Marathon in London is a very good place to do a PB. Oxford Half is on my list for next year.
The first time I did a race with my name on my number I was surprised how much it helped when people cheered me by name - I wasn’t expecting it to mean so much. Congratulations on such a good time! Maybe one day I’ll break 2 hours…
great plan Flora, very well executed
Great job Flora, well done.
Negative Split, Happy Days.
It'd be crazy pushing for a PB
"Wheels can come off" in a split second. Some poor guy recently passed away at the Great North Run.
Important thing is, you've "banked" that in your physique
Big accomplishment just completing strongly, not ending up in the First Aid Tent, or worse !
☀️
🐿
Loved that Flora and really well done 👏👏👏
very well done Flora!
such a nice course and friendly people and what a great performance.
ran my season PB last weekend aswell. good fun :)
@@Alyqzs amazing! Well done 👏
Well done, great effort 👌
Great video. Liked and subbing.
Just started training with the Runna app, dit an interval and a mobility session, interval was pretty demanding but I got it done, mobility with video was nice. So far so good.
Nice PB! My half is still at 1:47, I need to go sub 1:45 in the right circumstances, last time it was pretty hot when I attempted to get the PB. Congratulations!
Congratulations Flora. I did 1:45:27 we must have been running together 😂 this was my second OxfordHalf. I struggled a bit with niggles but glad to get it done. Ps how good were the T shirts?! Love your channel by the way. Starting Barcelona Marathon training next month…hope it’s as good as Paris.
@@jonathanwake2964 ah amazing well done! 👏 I didn’t take a T-shirt because I always get too many race tees, but they sound fab! What made them so great?
Barcelona marathon is flat and fast. Excellent crowd support too. Enjoy might see you there…
@@georginaporter946 I’d heard it was flat, fingers crossed. Hopefully see you here!
How did the Cielo X1's feel over the distance?
Congratulations Flora🎉
And yes, it felt weird to see you with so few layers and not saying that you are wearing to many of them 😉
I am sure that you are going to get a new PB next year
@@Joschka-w3s haha I didn’t regret it, but at the start it was horrible 😂
You are still fast! Good job!
Congratulations!!! What a lovely event! I'm glad you got your negative splits, and your body was game! "Running fast is hard, this is horrible, why does anyone do this!?" Exactly my feelings when I think of road races! 😂 People understandably assume ultras are harder because they're longer... but nothing is as intense and tough as grinding out road miles at as fast a pace as you can manage. I'll take the trails! 😅
Hi, Kelly. Good luck in the trails races. Happy weekend.
@Manuel-901 Thanks Manuel! I hope you've had a fantastic month yourself!
Great turn out of supporters I noticed. Flora you looked like you were really motoring towards the end picking off loads of runners and congrats on negative splits. I shouldn't admit this but I always love it when you use profanity 😂. I did say "wow" out loud when you revealed your time, nice one
@@Tonyr2 thank you! Hahah in reality it happens quite a lot 🥴😅
Well done! My knees hurt just thinking of that pace 😆😆
So impressive Flora, running a half marathon is amazing but videoing yourself throughout is unreal. Your energy is infectious!!
@@happyhabitpodcast haha thank you! I didn’t film quite as much as I’d have liked 😅
Well done Flora
Great time and good to see you back running. Apologies for calling you Flo when we spoke. I know another runner by that name and my run addled brain didn't compute properly!
@@accidentalactivist9633 haha no worries! Good to chat, well done with your race 😊
Braaavo. Epic 🎉🎉🎉🌷
Flora, do you just hold the GoPro in your hand or is on handle of some sort? Which ever way, you definitely seem to capture everything so well. :)
@@jimbagsh9569 just in my hand for this one! I’m quite used to it nowadays but usually I would put it in my pack
Che bel sorriso!
Congratulations Flora!
Omg, bare feet on bitumen😳
Awesome running Flora. Great job. I’d drop the backing track.. it gets annoying! 😂😂😂
I can sprint faster than tat but just a short duration of time😢
