I Ran One 5K and Apparently Got Carried Away 🏃‍♀️❄️

At the beginning of this year, I ran one 5K.

One.

Naturally, I’ve now decided this qualifies me to sign up for a Winter 10K. Sensible decision-making at its finest.

I am absolutely not a runner. I don’t have a collection of medals, I don’t wake up excited for a 6am jog, and at the moment my main running technique is probably just trying not to die.

But I wanted to properly challenge myself and have something to work towards, so here we are.

The goal is to get from “5K once, months ago” to actually completing a full 10K! Ideally without needing to be carried over the finish line.

I’m also raising money for charity, with a target of £200. Any donation, big or small, would mean a lot and will also make it significantly harder for me to back out when training gets cold, dark and questionable.

So please donate if you can, share the page, or just remind me that this was my own idea when I start complaining.

Fundraising target: £200 🎯
Distance: 10K 🏃‍♀️
Previous running career: approximately 30 minutes long 😂

Wish me luck, I’m going to need it.

I am taking on the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 2027.
