This weekend I ran Bristol 10k, a local and very friendly race around Bristol Harbourside. It was such a fun day out! Special shoutout to Dave who watched this channel and helped pace the race perfectly.
Obviously 'without training' is subjective and simply means after 3 months or so of messing around with inconsistent running, strength training and lots of holidays (and too much alcohol). I have, of course, still been running bits and bobs.

Great job Flora! Pretty speedy for any day of the week, let alone after a few months off and a hard night. Looking forward to seeing the next event you’re training for!
On another note, thank you for sharing about your panic attack. You absolutely do not have to, but I know that you know that when we are open and share you not only help yourself but the 40.1 THOUSAND followers you have (holy moly when I first started watching you I think you were around 10k! Amazing.) ❤️
This is such a lovely comment, thank you so much!! Yeah I didnt know if I should share or not, but I know so many people suffer and I don't want people to feel like they are alone in it. Also 40.1k! Wow!! I hadn't seen 😆
Completely agree about the no T-Shirt option. I must have dozens that I do not wear.
Far too many! Thankfully most of the small trail races I do dont offer tshirts so it's not an issue 🙈
I've seen at least one event that let you choose medal, tshirt, both or neither and the cost was adjusted accordingly... makes it more accessible financially in these times too.
@@davesharratt917 so smart! We need more of those. I always email but the responses are rarely good 🤪
Very well done indeed Flora! I did the half marathon distance, and my response to the cobbles was also one of frustration. So taxing after pushing for so long - my first half, so definitely not used to the distance. But you're right, the atmosphere was brilliant! BTW, I got an email from Great Run afterwards asking for me to fill a feedback survey in, and there were a few questions around improving the sustainability of the event in there with regard to finisher mementos etc, so if you haven't already, go and fill that one in. Let's make running green!
Oh and I set an unofficial 10k PB in the half marathon as well. lol
@@jdpjamesp that's incredible well done! Very impressive 👏🏼 ah I will have to fill that in
Well done, Flora.
You are a good runner, where ever you run 😄
When I do road races, my puls is always elevated.
Its the crowd that does it.
In trailraces its less apparent.
Great work Flora! Thanks for taking us along and great pacing job. I usually start out too fast and pay a price for it by the end. I love your thoughts about extra race stuff. some of it winds up being junk. I love my t shirts though but I've been known to pass along shirts with less than cool designs on to newer runners or to the local charity. I do admit to having a lot of them, especially someone who has been racing for nearly 20 years. love your enthusiasm for the sport and look forward to your next adventure.
Thank you so much! I think tshirts for new runners is a great idea! Technical kit can be so expensive. Thanks for the support!
Great job Flora and shoutout to Dave the Pacer too! Really good time especially with not much 10K specific training, super.
Thank you. Big responsibility but very satisfying! Huge honour to run in such renowned company.
@@davesharratt917 Nice one Dave, good of you to do that and I'm everyone else you paved really appreciated it too 👍
Thanks so much, and yeah Dave was brill, we had a good little crew going 🤗
@@FloraBeverley during the event I couldn't really tell how many people might be following the flag and I know some will have dropped back a bit but others were pushing ahead just like you did around 8.5km (I think?) so it was lovely to watch it back with the camera seeing what I hadn't.
@@davesharratt917 likewise! It was only when I dropped back a little between 7 and 8km that I saw our little group! It was awesome (though seriously lacking female representation for most of it 😆)
Aww I love the first clip, reminds me of when I used to live in bris! Spent many mornings running in that park
Ah no way! I love it 😍
Great run and time, well done. It's really good to hear you pushing for the option to not have the mass produced, throw away items in the bags.
Terrific race Flora! I imagine you will now aim for a faster time with a much better night prior to race day.
Thank you for speaking about panic. I grew up in a generation that didn't understand or really acknowledge these events and they weren't talked about due to embarrassment, shame etc. Having people like you speak comfortably about panic attacks really helps to normalize such conditions and when people can talk about them it is a big step forward.
Fabulous... run on!
Thank you so much Gerry!! Much appreciated 😊 yes I was hoping it'd normalise it a bit - it's scary but the only thing worse if feeling like you're the only one who's experienced it... which is absolutely not true! Thanks for the lovely comment 😊
Congratulations on your PB!! Incredible with your recent limited training! What a fun looking race, loved all the bands and dancers! I usually choose the no shirt option, but with my upcoming 6 hour, I did take the tech tee because mine are getting so ratty. I wear my clothes until the disintegrate, from running, to casual, to yard/barnwork. I hope you get to the bottom of your panic attack so you can go many more years without them!
Thanks Kelly! Yeah sometimes they're useful and I also have a conveyor belt of running, casual to garden/house work 😂 thank you 🥰
Congratulations on that official 10k pb 👏. Always a time to celebrate when you get a pb, especially when they are 'unexpected' shall we say..
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Getting a PB and managing to vlog is insanely impressive!! Well done on the race, makes me want to train for my own 10km pb 🥰
Thank you! Yeah I was convinced it wouldn't happen haha 😅 oooh go for it! 🙌👏
No training, no sleep, amazing time. I can’t even run that, well rested. Well done Flora, really interested to see how much you can improve it by. PS your complexion is looking amazing. Glowing.
Thanks so much Dom! Appreciate it 🙌
Just ran the Helsingborg marathon where you have to tick on the entry form if you want a t-shirt (and give the size) and then pay extra. That means they have only the exact number they want made. It makes the shirt quite expensive but if it's a special race you'll pay.
So sensible! I'd bet it's a great quality tshirt too 👌
WOW! Congratulations. Running a 4:30/km 10k after a bad night is really impressive. Currently I am happy with a 5:00/k pace.
Thank you! Really pleased with it 😀
Hi Flora.... great race... sorry to hear about your bad nice sleep / PA.... hope it never happens again.... I've had a few and I couldn't sleep either, but it all clears when you get up _ take care!
Thank you so much 💓
I think more and more races are doing the no t shirt option but I completely agree that all races should of an option. Great race time by the way!
Great time! I have marathon t-shirts that are older than my 12 year old daughter, that I still wear!
Oh I love that! 😍
Great run. Respect to the pacers! Unsung heroes!
They really are!
Well done! I ran it too and hit a PB at 41:42. I must have run past you at the start as I think I started behind the 45 minute man. Good luck with your current training block. I'm hoping to push on and do a sub 20 minute 5k/parkrun now for the first time.
That's awesome, well done! 👏 oooh yes you'll be able to get that no probs. Good luck!
Superb run Flora! Really enjoyed the vid. Congrats on your PB - great pace! 💥
Nice video. Good luck out there.
What a great time considering you're freshly back to running and didn't even taper! I think you are destined for big new PBs this season Flora! I'm looking forward to watching your journey! Keep pushing!
Thank you! That's the goal 🤞🤞🤞
Great weather and great run after poor night, well done!! Keep pushing!
Thank you!
Smashed it Flora!! Well done 🏃♀
Nice one on the PB. I started ultra's last year doing the Greenboy you did too. I mix the threshhold, reps and hard sessions with long 20+ mile runs and continue to push the PBs into my 40th year. You can definitely train for both in a way that works. Also, I did the half and thought the course might have been a touch long. Great day for it!
Nice! I definitely think in the early days of increasing mileage, you'll get faster and be able to go longer too, but it's tough on the body to keep working both all the time! I like to switch.
Hope you enjoyed your race!
@@FloraBeverley thank you! My daughter was born 15th September so a bit like you I was just seeing what I had, I thoroughly enjoyed it narrowly missing 1h19 by a few seconds, oh well, Gower marathon next up. Good luck for your next event.
Loving your vids flora i just did my first half marathon the leicester half 1.54 was my time ive now signed up for the draycote res 10k in december😊😊
Amazing!! Congrats and good luck with the 10k :)
Well done on the official 10k pb. Totally agree with the whole t-shirt thing. I've run a number of Centurion Running ultra marathons and it's great that they offer you to reject a t-shirt in association with Trees Not Trees.
Thanks so much!! Yeah hopefully more races get on board
Well done Flora. Not taking the bag wouldn't have had much of an impact because they've already made up the pack so any spares would have just been thrown away. I think Tshirts should be an additional cost add on for all races. I recently did a local half marathon and the entry fee was cheap because you paid extra for the T-shirt. Even if races give the option to plant a tree or donate to charity, a lot of people think "well, I've paid for it so I may as well have it", which is fair enough to be honest. I didn't want a T-shirt so I got a cheaper race entry, everyone wins!!
That's a grwta way of it working, idk why more races don't do that! Esp with races already being so expensive. I will keep advocating for change!
Come to germany, the entry is always expensive and you have to pay for the tee’s a lot 😂
Well done Flora! :) such a good time!
My friend and I also ran the 10k (we finished muuuuch slower it was our first race though and we were both just happy with didn’t stop! 😅)
I haaated the cobbles- I nearly rolled my ankle a few times. As that hill… at that point in the race was mean!
Ah well done that's fab! 👏🏼 so glad you enjoyed yourself. And yes the hill and cobbles were both horrible! 😅
Hi Flora I love your videos , been subscribed for a while, and they always motivate me to go out for a run! Congrats on your PB, and hope you are feeling better after your bad night. Take care of yourself! Your mental and physical health is priority. I've been struggling a bit recently, also for the first time in a while. Thank you for mentioning it in your video as it's comforting to know we are not alone. Take care :)
Thank you so much 💓 I hope you are doing ok, you are never alone! X
Wow, 45 min? That was fast. It took me 42 m to do 7.5 this morning (out of the blue run, crappy terrain with puddles, cobbles and mud spots) and I have my first 50 k on Oct 30. Great channel and great inspiration, thank you!
Good luck for your 50k! I do most of my runs at a much slower pace don't worry 😊 good luck with your training!
@@FloraBeverley Thanks! I'll be running the 50k of the UTMB in Mexico. The biggest issue here (for me anyhow) is the heat and humidity. You're sweating even before your start running ...lol
Strange to have the panic attack after such a long gap. Hopefully it was a one off. I had a string of them a few years ago, and I'm fairly sure it was just due to having too many plates spinning all at once and too much on my mind. It was scary when I didn't know what was happening during the first attack and I thought I was having a heart attack! Knowing what it actually was made me feel somewhat better after that. All the best, Flora 👍🏻🏃♂️
Yeah super weird. I still don't really know why but I feel much better now. Hope you're doing OK too!
Thank you for being so open about your panic attack - I hope you've been doing better in the days since the race!
Do you have a target time for 10K in mind? It's the one distance I've never officially raced, so only have a PB from training.
Much better thank you 😊
I'm hoping eventually around 40 mins, but for now anything below 43 I'll be v happy with!
Nicely done and captured. I couldn't manage that at the moment. Considering a 39 mile ultra at the moment, but haven't yet registered.
Get on it! 👏👏👏
Congratulations on the PB, really interested to see how your training goes switching between speed work after the distance training. I'm working on consistency which is resulting in long term gains but I don't have any short races to see the benefit. Maybe once my base is built I can add a bit more quality but the older I get the more those sessions wipe me out!
I find training to go long makes me really slow, and also as I still relatively young I want to get all the good PBs before it gets significantly harder. 😅 and long distance stuff I hope to be doing long into my 50s!
@@FloraBeverley So true about wanting to do this for a long time 😊
Good race, Congratulations!
Good afternoon Flora and all the runners from 🇪🇸. You run fast, fast. Interesting video and good race as ever. Here is my like. A nice week for everyone. ☀️🏃♀️☀️🏃♂️
Thank you so much 💓
In most races that I have entered in Australia the t-shirt is additional. I entered 8 races and only 3 include t-shirts. Tw0 are ~$400 and 1 was ~$200. No goody bags but a couple will have some aid station food at the end. The events all cost a lot of money but I don't know the splits between charity, event organisers, and local government (for road closures, police etc).
I did my fist half marathon about 10years ago in Bristol, nice city to run in!
Congratulations Flora on your PB
A bit different from the Knoydart Ultra! 🤣 Panic attack. 😱 Yep, we’ve all been there. And it’s not people you’d expect who get them. Flora you’re such a positive person and bloody good runner. Head up. 👍
Haha very different! And yes, uts so much more common than I thought. Such a silly quirk of the human body 😑 Thank you so much 💓
Awesome 10k race Flora, I think because you’ve done a huge amount of miles doing your ultras, because of that, think you will find, if you work on your 5k 10k races you’ll probably be amazed how quickly you’ll improve in the 5k & 10k, progress steady & safely, you will do amazing!! 👍🏼🌲👣🏃🏽♂️🌿🌲🥳
I was hoping that'd be the case! 🤞 we will see 👀 🤗 thank you
I’ve run the Bristol half about 4 times. Really love it. With the London Marathon this weekend it just didn’t fit in with training this year. I hope to be back to run it next year 😊😊
Ah yeah it's great! I want to do the half next year 😍
Great video flora I am itching 2 book my 1st ever 10km wolverhampton next march 😀 I have plenty of 5km I am currently on my 4th 10km do you think this would be enough time 2 train?
Amazing! Yes absolutely, you won't have any trouble. Good luck and enjoy!
I am little nervous I have only ever ran solo and the thought of other runners scary me and if I don't make the 10km I will be gutted but I want the medal
@@MrArnie82 you'll get there! The people will carry you along. And there are lots of smaller races if you prefer that! Good luck
I love all your videos!! Thank you for putting them out! U mentioned random panic attack couldn’t help wanting to mention that sometimes if our hormones glitch …anxiety & panic attacks can happen. A simple herb called ashwagandha can help💖 it is an adaptogenic. Therefore if the imbalance is from the thyroid or elsewhere ashwaganda helps balance our bodies. It’s natural herbal source. In India it is known to be a warrior herb, great for athletics!! Anyway love ya girl! Just wanted to share💁♀️
Big hugs & Run on ! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Nice work! That's a fantastic 10K time. To note, for courses that are certified they cannot be short at all. So most courses will be a tiny bit long to as to be certified. And there is also GPS error. TBH, 10.07 (6.26) is the closest I have ever seen for the Garmin to 10K course. I have run certified courses at 6.35 (I was pissed at that one bc that would have been a PR).
Ah no way. That's interesting! I never trust the official distances, because who's to say which route they took? I've done more routes 100m out than routes within that error. So annoying when you think you have a PB 😅
@@FloraBeverley Yeah, I mean, I am speaking mostly from a USATF world, possibly it's different in the UK. But a local race, Old Pros 10K here in San Diego, in 2018 it was the course it was for 20+ years, 6.26 miles. In 2019 they had to "re-certify" it and then the course added this frustrating out and back near the end (it also is a jarring experience to have to 180 like that in the last mile) to make it long enough... then it registered 6.35 miles for me. Ultimately, I still call my PR the 2018 one even though I ran 3 seconds per mile faster in 2019. If you want a completely on the dot thing, run on a track but then you will want to stab your eyes out from boredom.
10k were cool. Congratulations on improving your personal record. Keep it up! I wish you light legs without injuries! ps Your natural look is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
I'm just sitting down to watch this with my whole family....
Well done buddy, legend 👍🏻
Hahah I hope they enjoyed 😅
Looks a good race - might have to try that next year if I can. 4:30/k over 10k is a really good pace! I'd be well chuffed with that (I'm at 49:30 ish as my 10k pb currently). Keep ya chin up .. you're an inspiration 😀
That there pesky Harry Morgan (ua-cam.com/channels/eevBgehokNNlmbo8EaEDJg.html) has a lot to answer for though - he ruins other YT'ers videos ... I can't watch running videos any longer without spotting bright orange T-Shirts and thinking "I wonder if that's Harry?" 🤣
Great run. 10.07km is a standard gps distance for a 10km. My last 10km race was 10.08km on the watch. I believe it accounts for error in measurement but I stand corrected.
😂 clearly this is the case 😆
My June 2023 Half Marathon pace was 4:51. Since I've had some runs as low as 4:37 throughout the summer but the best I've ever managed yet was Oct 28/23 with a 5K race at 4:33 .... I'm 51 years old so I'm happy with that though I doubt I could sustain that kind of time for very many runs
I did my first ever half marathon in Bristol this year, was a ton of fun!
Amazing, well done!! So glad you enjoyed 👏
Hi Flora. THanks Great Vlog Looks like a great run. Will you be at the Bristol Running show in November ?
I didn't know that was a thing! I'll look into it 😊
@@FloraBeverley Yeah its at the Ashton court mansion 26th November
Well done Flora! 4:20/km is my 100 metre sprinting pace 😂
It was basically mine too! Everyone starts somewhere
I did the half that year and had a look at the 10 k and thought from the map that it looked like it had a lot of sharp corners, so wondering if it was easy enough to get into a rhythm for having to turn another corner...did you find this? Good time by the way.
It wasn't much of a rhythm really but I stuck with the pacer for the most part and he was amazing, so I got it done! I wouldn't say it's the fastest course in the world, but for Bristol it's pretty good and flat! Hope you enjoyed the half?
@@FloraBeverley Yeah it was okay, but the second half followed much of the 10k course (and I found it very stop and start and er...cornery...is that a word?). The first half of the Half was a simple out and back along the Portway which is the faster section.
@@rebelsage3158 haha yeah I thought so! And the cobbles 🫠
You can still talk while doing 10k? Wow. Your aerobic capacity should be above 45mins 10k. Amazing!
That's awesome
Congratulations on your 10k!
Have you thought about donating the shirts to charity or homeless shelters? Here in the states, when I need a cheep shit I don't carte about, I go to goodwill and buy a used shirt. Goodwill also
accepts clothes and other items as donations and resells them for spare change.
Totally, but unfortunately there is also a crisis of charity shop waste. The majority of clothes given to charity shops don't get sold and are instead shipped to places like Ghana where they are dumped or sold for pittance, also disrupting the local clothing trade. Better for them not to be made in the first place, if it can be helped!
Cheers flora. Great performance.
As for the T shirt, you could probably donate it or do a give away.
For sure! It would just be better not to make them in the first place if possible!
I did a wee local charity event for chest heart and stroke northern Ireland came 2nd 41:53 a new pb for me and first ever sub 42
Incredible! That's a goal time for me 🤗
Nice 👍🙂❤️❤️
🔥
The .07 can be a fluctuation of GPS and/or your racing line. Stick to the inside of corners
Hey, do you have any advice on how to run quicker? I know that sounds so stupid but I just feel so so slow.
I'm training for a marathon and I'm so nervous 🤣
Heya! Your marathon training plan should have some good stuff in it, trust the process! Intervals sessions are also a great way to increase speed
ahh no way I did the half marathon! it was a good race atmosphere
It was awesome! Hope you enjoyed 🤗
Do you get thigh rub? Thigh burn/rash? I always get it if I do more than 5km. Is it my form? Do I have fat thighs? Lol is there a solution for this? I’ve tried all sorts of shorts. Pants are definitely better but I now live in Mexico where it’s over 30 degrees everyday so pants aren’t happening while I run. Anyone have advice or solutions?
Heya! I do for long hot runs, it's completely normal! I wear 'cycling shorts' (longer shorts, not actually shorts for cycling) - check out 2XU and allbirds, they have some good pairs!
Also you can get creams like body glide that really help :)
@@FloraBeverley thank you!! :)
GPS distance is very unreliable, so only the official measurement for the course is relevant.
👍
When you watch somebody run 4.20 per km on YT it seems so much slower than when you run it in real life.
Haha i agree! I'm always disappointed how slow it looks, considering how fast and painful it feels 😅
The official distance is 10K!!!!
Haha yes obviously 😆I actually wanted to check if others had got slightly over or under, but ofc I go off the assumption that the chip time and distance are right
What are u training for now?
TBA!
Good morning.
When I did the Brighton Marathon last year they measured the course about 560m too long 😂
Oh goddddd I bet that was painful 😂
But… what was Dave’s pb? That’s what I want to know 😂
I dont actually know! He will say if he wants 😊 I don't like to ask because tbh it doesn't really matter - a PB is a PB!
Hi Morfeus, 37:35 and a collapsed heap on the finish line! Definitely put that one in the category of "type 2 fun".
@@davesharratt917 that’s incredible! Congrats! 🎉🎈 type two fun makes for the best memories!
