Battersea Park training as I Step Into the 65 - 69 Age-Group!

I went to Battersea Park to run on the track - but on arrival found it was closed as there was a private event taking place!
So plans changed and i ran on the roads around the park!
I am now in the 65 - 69 age group! I can feel a race coming near to see how fast I can run!
My session was
1000 meters
800 meters
600 meters
400 meters
200 meters with recovery of around a minute between each rep! It was fun!
Run With Julia is an opportunity to talk about your own running journey with a lifetime runner and coach who understands the high and lows, the twists and turns of the running road…
It is also an opportunity to learn about running from a pro
I started competing when I was twelve years old. I loved finding what was possible…
I ran fast times in the 1980’s
5k 15.50
5m 26.22
10k 33.29
10m 55.10
1/2m 72.48
Marathon 2.36.31
In 1985 I had the wonderful experience of winning the Dublin City Marathon.
I also competed in the 1986 Commonwealth Games, but had to retire during the race at 20m due to injury.
The personal experience of the ups and downs has been growthful for me, and also given me a depth of awareness that helps me to coach others and help them return after disappointments and set backs…
All these years later I am still loving competing and finding out what is possible….
