What a phenomenal March it's been for Jo, representing Staffordshire on the big stage and delivering standout performance across multiple events 👏
Jo kicked off the month at the Inter Counties Cross Country Championships (a race you can only enter by qualifying) where she proudly represented Staffordshire against top runners from across the UK, including Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Compeing across all age groups, Jo rose to the challenge and won her age category 🏅
She followed this with an incredible performance in a 20-mile road race, finishing 4th lady overall, with a PB of 2:14 and broke the NSRRVA V55-59 record 💥
Next up was the Wilmslow Half Marathon, an England qualifying race, where Jo placed 1st V55 out of 77 runners. She set another PB of 1:24 and secured an NSRRA V55 record - earning her place to represent England.
To round off an outstanding month, Jo ran at the Llandudno 10-mile event in brutal, windy conditions. Finishing 3rd lady overall, she achieved another PB (64:46), broke yet another NSRRA record, and claimed 1st V55 🥇
As if that wasn't enough, Jo also contributed to Staffordshire's team victory at the Inter Counties - a fantastic achievement to cap off an incredible month of racing.
An inspiring run of performances, well done, Jo! 🔥
