Run Wednesdays athlete Hannah achieves family finish and personal best in Spain
Run Wednesdays runner Hannah Holland swapped winter training for Spanish sunshine at the Seville Half Marathon, running alongside her brother in a race that combines family support with personal ambition.
Hannah had prepared for months for the city's famous fast and flat course. While the race offered the ideal conditions for Hannah to achieve an event personal best time of 1hr 42min, the motivation for this trip went beyond the stopwatch.
Lining up alongside her brother and other members of his Gibraltar based running club, turned this event into a shared experience as well as a competitive challenge.
Hannah said: "I really enjoyed competing in the Seville Half Marathon for the second year running. This year saw a record 20,000 runners taking part. As always, running a race is such a reminder of what mental strength and physical strength can achieve together."
The Seville Half Marathon attracts thousands of runners from across Europe every year and is widely regarded as one of the quickest races on the calender.
Fellow club members at Run Wednesdays had been following Hannah's training progress and were cheering her on from afar.
