Daphne – 5k in 31 mins

Daphne Loads, loyal MMF supporter, ran the Forth Bridge Supernova on 2nd Nov 2024. Her aim was to get her 5k time down to 31 mins. She sent us updates and nice pictures of plants from her training runs. She reports on the event itself:

It was a fabulous run across the Forth Road Bridge on Saturday 2nd November. Everything was brilliantly-organised, from the fleets of buses, and superfast bag drop and pick-up to the 60’s disco-style warm-up…. and the lights and the views!

My goal (cunningly crafted to be unmissable) ‘5K in as close as possible to 31mins’ was achieved during training with a slightly-disappointing time of 42 minutes. However on the night I pulled out all the stops and made a PB of 38 mins! 

A great way to celebrate 31 years of MMF.
