Last parkrun of the year and a new venue for me!
Always a pleasure to run with katmut! A nice traily forest run with one particularly tough uphill!!
Family coffee and chat afterwards ❤️
parkrun 142 and venue… 41, I think! EDIT 44!

Older sister had the cheek to ask “Are you up?” at about 8:45am.
The Mother took a picture in response, and I pulled my racethemachine_running buff up at the last second. Hence the mother’s face in this pic!
Christmas Day parkrun in the bag!

Happy holiday half marathon! A virtual race I had the entire year to take on but - given personal circs - only just managed to sneak in! It wasn’t a best effort or anything and I’m definitely not in race shape but I felt strong and enjoyed every step!…

I actually don’t think you can beat a Monday morning run before a pub lunch. The Our Pace Project club run this week? Run one of your absolute favourite routes, switch off from paces and stats and embrace your surroundings. Being able to run is such a privilege and it’s a good way to escape any Christmas chaos too!
.
Happy Christmas week everyone!

A challenge that has taken me pretty much all of 2024!
In December 2023, I signed up to the racethemachine_running Black challenge. An AI bot determined to push mankind to it`s top running potential by setting personalised targets over multiple distances. Your aim? Beat the machine before the year is up!
My 4 targets (1500, 5k, 10k and Half Marathon) were set and I flew through the first 3 before January was finished. Achieving Personal Bests in all of them, I was feeling strong and smug
But the last challenge took everything I had, and with 10 days in the year left - I beat the machine and earned a top 10 finish!
I`ve thoroughly enjoyed this challenge, it`s driven me to keep beating expectations and I highly recommend it to anyone, regardless of where you are in your running journey!

Alright, runners. Let’s talk about why Race The Machine 2025 might not be for you.
First off, this isn’t your typical “virtual race.” If you’re after participation medals for jogging around the block—or not even starting—look elsewhere. I’m here for runners ready to push themselves, no matter where they’re starting from.
Think personalised challenges sound cool? Think again. I use your fitness data to set goals that are tailored and fair. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned runner, still sounds like effort, doesn’t it?
And then there’s the experience. With me, you’re up against a relentless algorithm. No fluff, no shortcuts—just you versus you. I adjust to all abilities, but if you’re after a race with no real challenge, try a traditional one.
As for rewards, I skip the plastic trinkets. Instead, you’ll earn eco-friendly, high-quality gear made from recycled or organic materials. Sure, it’s better, but if you’re here just for the bling, I get it.
So, if you prefer easy wins and generic races, I’m not for you. But if you’re ready for a personalised challenge and an epic running journey spanning 2025... well, we’ll see if you can keep up.
Race The Machine 2025 launches Friday, 13th December.
