Run With Me: My Experience As A Parkrun Pacer In Hastings Today

what a fabulous morning at the Hastings Parkrun!
When I arrived I went to greet run director Rich Burne and he asked me if I would be a pacer!
we opted for me to be the 25-minute pacer, and my morning changed direction!
Thank you to Kevin, my garmin angel, for showing me how to find pace on it!
And for expert pacing advice fro. the 23-minute pacer...!
Thank you, Jane, for great camera work!
It was fabulous to meet up and run with Kevin Brionii Jacquie and Nicky !
Tim joined us for breakfast! 😀

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 15.51
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….
