Manchester half done in 1:38:13. New PB!!
Fantastic time in what was miserable conditions - not even going to post my time as I was running as moral support but I reckon there's a 1:50 in me on that course. Did it last year in 2:01. Couldn't get over how many people were out under gazebos cheering everyone on.
Did you see the winning time? 1:03:36. FFS, that's rocket propelled!
Training for the 1/2 marathon in a few weeks. I've done 10-14 miles on the treadmill a few times but thought I'd best start to train outside. Never done more than 7 miles running outside before so thought I'd try a 10 mile today. Even though I got drenched I enjoyed the run. Nice easy pace and had loads left in the tank at the end. Not the best time but i averaged 8 min 50 secs per mile with 2 big inclines included. (I averaged around the 8 min mark on the treadmill so need to up the pace)
I suffer from "runners trots" so didn't eat anything 3 hours previous and had a Imodium tablet an hour beforehand. Forget the run I was pleased I didn't need toilet and could focus properly.
Just bought a book called "Born to Run" by Chris Mcdougall. Great inspiration and had some great reviews
Even more pleased with my half marathon effort now, as I have been ill since last week and the doc just diagnosed me with shingles!
Hopefully a quicker time next time round
Well done mate, not good that to havecas can make you really lethargic.
I’ve just booked Oldham half for next weekend. Supposed to be a tough one do no chance of a PB!!
Thanks mate yeah I felt really flat last week was glad to get round! I’ve booked the Wilmslow 10k for end of November-have you done it before? Definitely a PB course if you haven’t.
