Well technically a bit over anyway.
Hey everyone, I know it's been a while since I last posted, but there are good reasons. I am now at the rest week in my series of half marathons! 3 done, 39 miles, in a total of 4:46. Thank you all for all your support!
The first one went pretty well, 1:35. I ran the first 5 miles in the pace I meant to do the whole thing (7:30 minute miling), and then ran a bit faster for the last part - I was feeling good and it was easier to go a little quicker than going faster and slower to try and stay at a constant pace.
The second one was a much tougher course, really very hilly! I managed to stay at the intended pace throughout, and putting in the higher effort compensated for the tougher terrain. Just a shame that due to my no alcohol no caffeine policy I was unable to enjoy the wine tasting stations around the course!
The third one was really flat. A lovely course starting and finishing in Kew Gardens, I ran reasonably hard for the first half and then raced the second half. Very happy with the final time as it was only a minute outside my best!
Now to enjoy a bit of rest, before heading to the last two. Wish me luck, and if you think the pain I'm putting myself is worth it I would be very grateful for any donations :-)
Until next time
