Claire contacted me in winter of 2019. The plan was to train for a half marathon pb in April at the Reading half. Sadly Covid meant that Reading could not go ahead and it meant that all of Claire's hard work was sadly in vein. However, earlier in that month Claire made the trip to Seaton in Devon for the annual Grizzly race. Our plan was to run the cub (a shorter version of the main race) as training for Reading at a conservative pace, Claire did this and had a great day out in the sun. Previous to this on the Saturday, part of Claire's plan was to race the Seaton Park Run. It was here that she ran a superb race and came in with a new pb of 25 minutes 23 seconds, smashing her old pb by a massive margin of just over 3 minutes!! Whats more was that a small part of the Park Run was on a pebble beach, what an amazing improvement! I was so gutted that we were unable to do the Reading half because clearly Claire's form was excellent and she would almost certainly of completely demolished her pb. I am really looking forward to working with Claire again in the future once Covid passes and we all return to normal.
