Great run simply, these 20+ milers are so brilliant

Well done rich, another brilliant race, glad you felt so good and you beat your target.

I did feel good today despite not having much sleep due to ds teething and being awake most of the night! I thought I was a lot slower though but pleased with the time. Probably be slower as the long runs increase in mileage.

Well done Rich - that's a cracking result. Fantastic that you beat your target :T

Well done too to KYCU - looking forward to hearing all about it.

Well I completed my first half marathon today. Really nice to meet rich & becky, Rich I dont think I actually thanked you for the extra encouragement you gave me at mile 12 ( think it was about then. All I can say peeps is that I didnt leave anything at the start line. I did take a tumble at the 2nd water station, there were a fer around it and I changed direction but didnt notice there was a kerb, when I took that tumble I thought for a few moments that it was the end of my race, however it turned out not to be so but I have a nice bruised foot, grazed elbow and skinless knee.

I'll post garmin stats up later but I'm deffo 2:01 area, lost a bit of time on the tumble and took me a while to get my rhythm back.

Rich as took your question on when i booked due to my low number it was 24th spetember before I had even done a 5k park run!

Hi all

Some great running from everyone! KYCU that time is fantastic for a first half marathon

Okay so today there was quite a bit snow around when I set out so at my turnaround point I decided to come back the way I had come as I knew it was passable and safe!

Therefore the mileage was slightly shorter than intended at 24 miles - but considering the snow the time was fantastically pleasing of 3:45:15 which is 9:23 mins/mile and I ran the last 5 miles or so as a progressive so I was speeding up - sprinted the last 500m or so and still felt strong

Am achey now but dont feel too bad at all - what a confidence booster! Off to get my train home soon so will no doubt be sleeping
