Rachel The Reluctant Runner – Blog #7

15th Feb 2026

Reluctant Rachel is training in Norwich this week. But it’s been snowing!

She’s aiming to run 10K for our charity in May at Edinburgh Marathon Festival .

Her longest run to date is 6.8K, will she break the 7K barrier today?

Norfolk is flat, which should help. Edinburgh is not.

Inspired by Norwich strong women, Julian Of Norwich and Edith Cavell, and by the generous people who’ve sponsored her on Justgiving , off she goes!

Rachel is also channelling “Mind Over Mood” by @popupcbt , since there is a distinct lack of endorphins.
