Thankfully, with the help of a wonderful team, lots of encouragement, and pure adrenaline, the race was run – and I found it a lot easier than expected. So, on that note – I encourage anyone who is even thinking about running a 10k to go for it. The atmosphere, encouragement from people on the sidelines, and people in the race – not to mention friends and family – all makes it a really satisfying experience. And if like me you have never run before (well apart from the small amount of training I did in the weeks leading up to the run) you will feel such a sense of achievement afterwards and be signing up for the next one as quickly as possible.
