  • What a very fabulous fun morning! 🙌🌄☀️
    Anadi ( husband) and I jogged to the start of the Saucony London 10k on a gloriously sunny Jjly Sunday morning!
    I had fun being interviewed about running without shoes!!
    And then I met lovely Rebecca in my pen on the start line, and we chatted for the half hour we were waiting to go...!
    The road was quite ouchy in places! But I was delighted to run 50.49 barefoot!
    I have different goals barefoot to shod!
    Run With Julia is an opportunity to talk about your own running journey with a lifetime runner and coach who understands the high and lows, the twists and turns of the running road…
    It is also an opportunity to learn about running from a pro
    I started competing when I was twelve years old. I loved finding what was possible…
    I ran fast times in the 1980’s
    5k 15.50
    5m 26.22
    10k 33.29
    10m 55.10
    1/2m 72.48
    Marathon 2.36.31
    In 1985 I had the wonderful experience of winning the Dublin City Marathon.
    I also competed in the 1986 Commonwealth Games, but had to retire during the race at 20m due to injury.
    The personal experience of the ups and downs has been growthful for me, and also given me a depth of awareness that helps me to coach others and help them return after disappointments and set backs…
    All these years later I am still loving competing and finding out what is possible….

    Hi Julia - I started right behind you in Pen C and was amazed to see you had no shoes on - I went through 5km about a minute ahead of you and maintained that gap to finish in 49:44 for 3rd MV70 - definitely not my best run* and certainly couldn’t have beaten your time if I wasn’t wearing race shoes - I’ve been running for 41 years, still greatly enjoy the training, and like to race 5 or 6 times a year to give me something to focus on
    *I ran 47:23 for 1st MV70 at last year’s London 10,000

      Hello Martin, thank you so much for your message - and what a fun thing that we were together in, pen C ! Well done for your run and your run last year, too! I've been competing for over 50 years and have often been barefoot , so I enjoy mixing up my races and different goals! Good luck for your next race!

    Great running Julia. I think your very brave running a 10K road race barefoot. I've run barefoot on grass before and one time on a beach but never on tarmac. London is so iconic and it must be nice to drop the pace back just a touch so you can take in some of the sights rather than stressing about your mile/km splits or heart rate.

      @geoffclarke3796 Thank you, Geoff! It is fun to ring the changes and I have a very different experience when I run barefoot as it is slower and it does feel a bit like I'm a child who's run I to the streets without my shoes to play! 😂my real joy for barefoot running is on firm sand by the sea 🌊 💙 ✨️ 🏃🏼‍♀️👣
