Valencia 10km Race!

This past Sunday (January 11th), I raced the Valencia 10K and ran 33:48, my fastest 10K in the last four years. Honestly… I did not see this one coming.

Just 11 days earlier, I ran 35:20 at the New Year’s Eve 10K, so I went into this race with zero expectations. I’d been training hard for the last 10 days, didn’t really taper, and didn’t think I was in great shape, as you’ll probably see in this video 😅

But the crowds, the course, the atmosphere, the weather… everything came together and gave me a massive boost. Somehow, I managed to pull together a really solid race, and I’m genuinely so proud and happy with this one.

This race also means a lot because it was my first race as an Oner Active girl 🖤
Starting 2026 with a performance like this feels very special, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support.
