A Run Through Battersea Park with Julia and Katie!

Katie Quigley and I met when I was doing a pre race warm-up for the runners in the Southampton 10k!
we've then met at various 'RunThrough ' events and made a plan to go for a run and chat in Battersea Park and breakfast afterwards...!
I learnt more about Katie's role in RunThrough, the career path that led her there and her love of the outdoors - particularly the mountains!
Thank you, Katie, for a lovely morning 🌄
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….

I think it must be Parkrun and the internet that has driven the running boom, so many opportunities to run which previously people either didn't know about or didn't exist. I always think it's surprising how much you can improve by just running more too, although you wouldn't think that about learning Italian. Hope you have a wonderful Easter Julia! 🍫🐣🐇

😂😂 re the Italian Steve! Are you learning Italian? Jane is, too! Yes - improvement sometimes has seemed random and a puzzle for me in running! But essentially, just doing it again and again is the key 🔑 Yes - I think the Internet and more races and parkrun have made a huge difference ! 🎉
