Personal Peak Summer Race Series
The Personal Peak Summer Race Series was a set of four consecutive races held throughout the summer of 2020. These virtual races had over 1600 total registrants from 36 countries around the world. Our youngest participant was just 4 years old! And the oldest, 71!
The concept may have been simple, but the races were anything but! Each race was a time trial targeted at a different intensity zone, which meant no matter who you were, how fit you were, or how fast you were, everyone racing would be working just as hard, for just as long. The only difference? Each race, one person ran farther than the rest…
- May 30, 2020 – 20 minutes
- June 27, 2020 – 45 minutes
- July 25, 2020 – 3 hours
- August 22, 2020 – 12 hours

The smiles continue for race series number FOUR!! Last night was our biggest turnout yet with 39 participants (+stroller companions 😉). The great weather brought lots of PRs and lots of amazing photos taken by the talented aposkin7117. If you don’t see yourself here, don’t worry - more photos to come! Thank you everyone for making last night such a great night. #ttac #summerraceseries #5krunners #happyrunners

First photo was taken after my 5th lap (40km in) at 5 am when I burst into tears of relief after crossing the finish line, hoping that the end was near, even though it really wasn’t 🤣 But we endured for 24 hours - on the muddy trails of Wasing Park! Team Running for cake finished 60/240 in the mixed 6-8 team category even though there was only 5 of us😬.With the aim of 6 laps each we didn’t get any sleep, and ran an average lap of 8km at 42 mins, on a full on mudslide course in cold and rain to complete 30 laps in 23 hours and 50 mins in total! Absolute ecstasy and gratitude that despite nowhere near sufficient amount of training we absolutely smashed it! Next year going for the win 😉 hellodaz jessieeden3 #runningtowardscake #endure24 #summerraceseries #heartbrakehill #dreamteam

Tempo in 98° 🥵🔥
There was no way I was racing that 5k. I’ll take the -10° ANYDAY over 98° (I know I can’t be alone?)! Even so, it felt great. The pace felt smooth, while still putting in a good effort!
Advantage of out and back races? You can cheer for your friends!

Oh boy. Trying to run fast hurts. I can confidently say that I`d rather run at an easy-medium pace for hours than run "fast" for 20 minutes. But it`s fun to switch it up sometimes! 😊
.
It was a blast taking part in the first race of the Personal Peak Summer Race Series - a 20 minute time trial.
.
I did manage my fastest 4K, fastest 400m, fastest 1/2 mile, fastest km, fastest mile AND fastest 2 miles before the uphill and wind took it all out of me on my way back. I`d call that progress! 1st photo is before; swipe for the sweaty finish line photo 😂
