13.1 mile practice run in the bag!!!

With only 14 weeks until the big day we decided to get out and do a run of the same exact distance. We had a few hiccups, one being my feet. At 9 miles my arches on both feet started to feel tender to run on. I didn’t know if it was falling arch or blisters so the last 4.1 was not a comfortable run for me. But we soldiered on and smashed it 👊🏼 Rhya now knows that she’s more than capable of it on the day 🤩

10miler in the bag 🤩

It’s 6 month until the GNR 2026!!!🥴
Time is flying by.
Last weekend we got out and our aim was to do more than 8mile. We smashed 10mile. It wasn’t easy Rhy needed the toilet 5mile in 🫣 and then the 7.5mile she hit the deck, flat like a pancake (we can laugh about it now but it was a pretty spectacular fall) at the Port Of Tyne, so a very busy area so she was mortified. Grazes to shoulder, both hands and her knee & chest but she got up and ran on like a trooper 👊🏼.   Rhy is away this weekend so no training today but we’ll be back at it by next weeked. 
Any pennies you can donate are appreciated,
Love from D &R XXX

8 miler in the bag

Wind is bad today mind!!! 💨 
Got stopped at some roads and Rhy had a very bad stitch that we had to walk off, but we pushed to 8 mile today -2 longer than last weekend. Gave Rhya a taste of what the final 5mile of the GNR is like 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️
1,238 calories burned n 1.32 hours 👊🏼

6 miler in the bag

Yesterday we ran from Whiteleas to the Sunderland bridge, then round onto Seaburn coast road. Done in
1:08 and 921 calories burned. 
Rhya wasn’t  100%, but we got out as planned and she ran through stomach cramps like a champ (it was her strongest run yet!) The route had a fair few up hill sections but we pushed through and really enjoyed it! 
Looking to do the run again and beat the time, or push it on to 7mile. 
Thanks in advance for every sponsor xxx
