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 😄
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 👍🌴👏👏🌲👊🏼😀🏃🏽♂️✅
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!
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 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.
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 ! ☀️ 🐿
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! 😅
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
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!
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
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!
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?
