GC50 Half Marathon. 1:56:15. 🏃🏼‍♀️

Not the race I trained for. Not the time I wanted & probably the hardest 21.1km I’ve run to date.

I went into this chasing 1:45 and spent the second half of the race fighting the urge to call it quits.

The heat, humidity, heavy legs, period cramps, gut issues & a toilet stop all had other plans for me.

There was a point where I knew the PB wasn’t happening & instead of pushing for a time, I had to adjust, slow down & just get myself to the finish line.

It’s frustrating when you’ve put months of work into something & race day doesn’t reflect what you hoped you were capable of.

But then the perspective check I probably needed kick it:

Three half marathons this year. Three finish lines. Two half marathon PBs earlier in the year. A sub-50 10K race. All from someone who barely ran before. Seriously, I think I clocked about 2 runs in 2025.

& somehow I’m giving myself a hard time over one difficult race?

Performance isn’t linear. Not every race will be a PB & not every finish line needs to be.

Still learning to give myself credit for the things I once thought I couldn’t do. ❤️‍🔥 (I’ll be baccccck) taken in Gold Coast, Queensland by @alanafiddes

Steady 18km last weekend got me a little nervous for my new PB goal for the @gc50runfestival low key battling limiting beliefs right now. Nearly pulled out but instead I’m going into it for all the reasons I started, to prove that I can, to have fun & enjoy the journey 👏🏼

💫Some fun had hitting a sneaky PB for @bridge2brisbane last Sunday!! 💫

& can we peep the hill struggles at 9km & can someone pls tell me why the elevation on that hill felt worst than the getaway bridge? 👀

My engine has came a long way from the start of this year. Grateful for all that my body & mind pushes me through.

Wee tester for the legs before the main event soon @gc50runfestival ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

TRUST THE PROCESS.

9 months of probably the hardest I’ve ever worked my body. No shortcuts, half marathon PBs (both while on my period- ouch iykyk) & achievements little old me wouldn’t have even tried 🥹

Do I still drag myself over body image? Absolutely lol. Still working on that one.

But the performance that’s come with it?? Worth it.

Turns out pushing myself to be stronger, fitter & faster is actually really f*cking fun.

And how fun is giving it a go 💫💫 taken in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia by @alanafiddes

Monday thoughts 💭 Trying not to lose yourself in the pursuit of becoming better, while also knowing that some parts of you have to be left behind in order to grow.

🌼 Being you is the greatest superpower you’ll ever have. I alwaaaays remind myself of this, I saw it on a quote years ago and it’s just stuck with me. Lean into it. Take up space. Grow in whatever way feels right for you.

Because becoming better doesn’t mean becoming someone else.

So maybe the question isn’t, “Do they approve of me?”

It’s: Do I approve of the person I’m becoming?

❤️‍🔥 And am I becoming her for me? by @alanafiddes
