Welcome to RunMandaRun! I'm a 38-year-old woman sharing my active lifestyle while navigating early perimenopause and a career change.
Join me as I run, lift, bend, and embrace all the activities that help me feel my absolute best. From solo street runs to trail adventures with my boy, Arlo 🐶, you'll see the highs and lows as I chase PBs and strive for balance and overall well-being.
I'm on a mission to be my fittest self by the time I hit 40, and will hopefully entertain and/or motivate you along the way...Please subscribe if you enjoy 🏃♀️✨
Thanks for this, Manda. I've been thinking of joining NDRC for a while. One thing putting me off was having to drive into town from North Wingfield for sessions. Is this one at Tupton, on the school track?
I am also from Chesterfield and my 5km time is around the same as yours. I’d also planned to give Sarah’s training plan a go! Looks like it is definitely worth a go!
Loved the vid. I've done 10 Park runs, started this March, am 62, not run in literally years. PB is 40.16 trying to get under 40 mins. I should try the intervals that might work the oracle. All the best Bob
Thank you! That's amazing 🤩 yeh give them a try at your PB pace, once a week worked a treat for me along with my steady runs :) and then I was ready for a rest from them ha. Good Luck 🤞
Before you started the week four session, you said you were doing it early in the week to be fresher for "when we do the PB". Not, "try to do", but "when we do." I love that attitude. 💪🏻🏃🏻♀️
Great running. Shame you missed it. Ive recently just made a similiar video. Im aiming to beat my 10k time this sunday from 10 years ago 😮 Happy running.
Ohhh Amanda what a shame, as you said it just wasn’t your day, you can soooo easily run a sub2 I bet right now …… so what half you got next then, coz I know it won’t be too belong until you do another one !! I’m really glad I stumbled across your channel Amanda, Iv got to say your a complete natural in front of the camera, I’m really looking forward to following all your journeys - no pressure ;) Clair x :)
Was so gutted but defo proud of what I achieved and all the training. So I’m thinking not until Dec/Jan cuz I really wana focus on my shorter distance speed, and my strength training. Will be good to see the difference after another year of running 😁 thanks so much for watching, fab to have you along for the next run challenges 🤩 have you got any races or challenges coming up? X
I’m sure Amanda, I know the feeling only too well, Iv trained my arse off only for it to completely fill apart for no reason I can put my finger on, it happened to me when I done Brighton Marathon the 2 time, I trained much harder than I had when I done it previously which was 2 years earlier and I was 20 odd minutes slower, i didn’t do anything wrong really, it went pretty well but I just wasn’t ‘feeling it’ ….. I was absolutely gutted, so Iv got Rutland Half next Sunday, I’m not racing it tho, I’m gonna try n pace my friend to a PB so hopefully looking at around 1.58….. it’s trails tho and the weathers gonna be crap next week so it’s gonna be really muddy so not sure the conditions will be on our side - we’ll see we’ll have fun regardless 😃 x
@@clairhardywynn5620ahhh so hard isn’t it, but to do the distance is amazing so massive well done 🎉 I’m going to try and take pressure off the next organised race but we’ll see if I can 😂 hope you have an amazing time on your trail run, will defo be loads of fun in the mud 😆 let me know how it goes 🤩💪
Iv just had to stop this video at the point you said you got the shits 😂😂, so far you’ve been caught having a bush wee, you said thank f@@k for that when u finished along run, you nearly shit yourself when ur foot started hurting and now you’ve quite literally shit yourself 😂😂 well, you’ve got urself a new subscriber based on all that 😂😂 right I’m now going to watch the rest of the video to see how well you done, I reckon based on ur current 5k time you could hit around ……. Oooo dare I say it 1.55.30 ……. Eeeek bet ya cracked that 1.50 ….. back in the shake of a shitty stick …….
Thank you @sarahswims glad you enjoyed it, I’m excited to do more vlogs. Are you planning on trying again for the half? I might try in December after some speed focus through the year 😁
We went on a frosty morning which was fab but will be super messy on a normal day at the min 🥰 yehhh thank you, he’s started running again now ❤ are you still running? Any races coming up? X
