What an awesome way to spend a winters day, nothing like a bit of mud, Mother Nature and mulled wine 🍷 with a lovely late lunch …
There always has to be food😍😂
Just signed up for Tallinn marathon. Now binge watching people running to get me pumped!
Great music on this one, very upbeat and fun. I did Mapledurham 10 miler once and loved it, one of the more memorable races out there, partly for just the time of year, but also the terrain. Thanks as always for sharing. Watching your videos are the next best thing to actually going out for a run (which I've just done).
What a fun looking race! I love how you're humble and rarely make a big deal about how you did, though I'm guessing you killed it! My husband always "releases the kraken" when I finish a race... he's a 100 lb black shepherd who HATES his herd splitting when the race starts! He's always so excited when I cross the finish. 😆 I use the Garmin metrics, and I'm not sure how accurate it is, but my "body battery" score is usually between 35 and rock bottom... being a chronic insomniac is terrible for training and recovery, but I do the best I can. I'm hoping 2023 is my best year yet. 🤞
Loved the video, signed up for the race, after watching again I'm still not sure whether to take trail shoes or road shoes
Trail shoes all the way! 🙌 see you there
Fantastic time Flora! Loved the video and yes quite a difference in running a 10K versus a HM in terms of pace and perceived exertion. The shorter the race, usually the more intense the effort level is. I need to see where I am at with a half marathon race. It's been a while since I've raced on. Keep up the great work and I really enjoy your content.
Thanks Eddie! Enjoy your running 🤗
Ha ha good old Garmin, 3 weeks to recover :-) In the early days of my Garmin I used to have run suggestions on (to try it). I pressed run mode on the day after it had suggested a long recovery and it told me run 9 miles at world record pace 😀 No surprise that I disabled it after that and tend to listen to my body and not my watch on recovery 😀. Love the videos, Take care
😂😂😂🤦🏼♀️ so bad hahah
Fantastic running video, as always Flora. It's great to see that Tia loved the run (I hope Fiann did too). Thankfully you weren't filming when you lapped me 🤣
They both had a great time! 😍 hahaha, I hope you had fun out there 🤗
Love your wholesome running vlogs so much. And Tia, she’s so cute 🥰
Aw yay thank you!! 🥰
You’re just the purest wee soul! Loved watching this flora, very motivating!
Hahahah thank you ❤️💗
Only had cold weather in the last week?! Not in Sheffield 🤣 love your running vlogs, always makes me excited for my next run! I think I might book a race for the new year after watching this 🎉
Hahah sorry - down south it was warm right up until December hit pretty much! 🙈 defo do it - no better way to start the new year 🤗
Your dog is so gorgeous!! You always make running look so easy 😊
Do you have any tips on how to still get out for a run when it's icy outside? Missed today as I was scared of falling over!
She is so beautiful isn't she 😍 and she knows it 😅
Winter is great to try trail running! It's less muddy cos it's all frozen, and way less slippery than roads. Otherwise try just going towards the afternoon where it's warmed up. Worst case, try the treadmill!
@@FloraBeverley thank you, I'd love to try trails, so perfect chance!
And maybe stick to the buffed out paths/trails for more security.
Hi for all the runners from Spain. Fantastic, Flora, good job. Here is my like. A nice week for everyone.
Not many things give yo the same feelings you had as a kid but running fast down hill or even more so, fast down hill on a bike does. Best wishes.
Yesss totally agree! And we all have to be children from time to time 😍
Keep on making your videos, they are inspiring! Thanks from the states.
Thank you so much! I will 🥰
Beautiful location, with your good energies, well done!
I am running a 42km in 3 months time what you Flora thing must I do to enjoy the run
Loved it. Thanks Flora x
I love her smile. Fascinating how she can film, talk and smile like a goddess while running. I always look like I'm going to die at any moment when i am running.
Right!? My finish pictures are AWFUL!! 😆
did Tia and Fiann enjoy their race too? Also, that jacket you're wearing at the end!! 😍😍 x
They did, I should have said in the vlog! They both had a great time 🤗 and thank you! I stole it off a friend 😅🫣
@@FloraBeverley ahhh yay! so glad they enjoyed themselves too. :) lol, well that was very nice of your friend to let you steal it ;) x
Found ya channel a week or so ago, what an inspiration you are, love your pure and unadulterated enthusiasm (I personally could not think of anything worse than trying to do 5k let alone a half marathon), maybe I need to think about getting back out there and enjoying it - no pain no gain I guess 🙂
Thank you, welcome to the channel! Haha yes running is hard but the difficulty is balanced out by the fun! 🤗
Try different stuff! Trail, road, long, short. Personally, though I thought my body could never handle more than a half marathon once a year, I now try to do 3-4 50ks a year. Turns out slowing down, walking occasionally, and being on the trails makes my body happier than hammering out a "fast" 5k on the road! Best wishes!
Its a fab race the 10 miler last year was great, half in the diary for next year. Good to see you smiling.
Yesss so much fun, always a jolly event 😍
@flora- Is it possible to edit live stats like temp, pace, elev, and HR into your race posts?
Oooh I share all of this on Strava, but I'll see if I can! I don't want to make it about pace though, more about the experience than anything else. I just want to keep it fun and lighthearted :)
@@FloraBeverley Very good - I follow you on Strava & will check it. Thought it would be cool to see HR on races & elev. Raced an out-of-state Half this past weekend and felt I had to keep dialing back b/c of higher than expected HR. 14C temp difference might have been the main issue.
@markdean1768 I measure HR on my watch so it's to be taken with a pinch of salt 😅 but it's all there on strava incl elevation 🤗
Fame at last! 😀
😂😂😂
Hey Flora, do you ever take your twin sister Fauna out running?
Is there a reason why you didn't have any food/drink during the half? (If you're a new runner reading this - I would strongly advise you take on sufficient hydration and 30-60g carbs/hour for a 21km run)
I arrived extremely well fed and know what my body can handle (and re-fuelled straight afterwards). But yes to new runners/anyone training v hard, taking fuel for runs over 90 mins is recommended
I never need to eat during a half. Everyone is different.
Nice one Flora, lovely trails there and looked like a really good day out all round. Definitely interesting to know the data on how fatigued you are as sometimes this can be very different to feel
It's gorgeous! And yes totally 🙌
