The London 10k was an experience to remember! From the moment I hit the start line, the energy was electric. The crowds, music, and lively atmosphere gave me flashbacks to the Paris 10k—the vibe was almost identical. There’s something special about running through iconic city streets with so many people cheering you on; it made every step feel lighter.
I was cruising along, really soaking up the buzz, until I hit a sharp corner around the midway point. In my excitement, I turned faster than I should have and felt a sudden pain in my left leg. It was gutting because I’d been feeling so strong up until then. The injury forced me to ease off a bit, but I was determined to push through and finish.
Despite the setback, the rest of the race was still incredible. London truly knows how to put on an event, and the atmosphere kept my spirits high even as I navigated the discomfort. Crossing the finish line was bittersweet—I was thrilled with the experience but frustrated by the injury.
Now it’s all about recovery and getting back out there. Even with the hiccup, the London 10k was a highlight for me—a reminder of why I love running and how every race brings its own set of challenges and joys.
