London's Urban Adventure: Barefoot Running In The Saucony 10k!

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….
