The Porthcawl 10k turned out to be my best race so far! The weather was near perfect—warm, but nowhere near the scorching heat of Cardiff. I felt confident from the start, and it showed in my pace. Even with a quick stop for a bathroom break, I was still on track for a personal best.
The coastal route was stunning, and I even got to catch glimpses of the Swansea Airshow overhead, which added some excitement to the run. The crowd support was fantastic, helping me keep up my speed through the entire course.
Crossing the finish line, I was thrilled to see I’d set a new personal record. It’s amazing how much progress I’ve made in just a few races, and this one really showed what I’m capable of. The Porthcawl 10k was a mix of great conditions, scenic views, and strong running—everything just clicked. Now I’m more motivated than ever to keep pushing and see how much faster I can go!
