A GP from Poynton who was left devastated when she had to pull out of competing in the Great Manchester Run created her very own 10k the following weekend - raising hundreds of pounds in the process.
Dr Elizabeth Eales, a GP at Middlewood Partnership, had been looking forward to the race day, having put in the miles with early morning practice runs and completing the Couch to 5k.
Elizabeth was aiming to complete the 10k after she admitted she hadn't touched her trainers in years. But, as like so many who needed ‘headspace’ during the Covid-19 pandemic, the 40-year-old “was attracted to the stress-relief when the weeks were challenging”.

“It was a disaster - I was so disappointed to have to pull out of the race.
“As you can imagine, work was very stressful and challenging during lockdown. Overnight our work completely changed and it was hard working remotely. There was a level of risk everybody had to manage including a lot of concern for my elderly and vulnerable patients.

Disappointed but undeterred, Elizabeth that following weekend ran her own 10k where she lives in Poynton.
She completed her home run in 1 hour 14 minutes, welcomed by her two daughters, Beatrice, 9, and Anna, 7, who even made a special finish
