What is your PB for a half marathon?

BrookesAndrew

I done my first half marathon on Sunday. 1 hour 53 minutes and 20 seconds, pleased with the time but going to do another one in April and hopefully run quicker. Just wondering who else has done a half marathon, what your time was and what one you did? I did the Thorpe Park half marathon and it was very good, definitely recommend it to anyone.

I did my only one a couple of years ago in 1hr 33. However I ran an 18 mile training run on Sunday and went through half marathon distance in 1hr 28.
I am doing one later on in the year (ABP Coastal Half) so hopefully run in the region of 1hr 24ish.

Done the Brighton half a few times.

Sadly have to hang up my long distance running shoes due to injury. Can run 5k and that's it.

1 hour 28 St Leger half marathon Doncaster. Still got my certificate somewhere.
Years earlier I had trained up for the first London Marathon organised by Chris Brasher.

I followed a 12 weeks training schedule published in the Sunday Times and got a place reserved. I think there were only around 6000 or so entrants in 1981.
My training hit the wall doing my longest run in the depths of winter of around 21 miles in the dark in freezing fog which left me with exercise induced asthma which took years and years to go away, so I had to cancel.
. Could nt do any energetic exercise at all without feeling very ill and breathless.
Running in fog was definitely a bad idea.
Still slow jogging even now as an old fogie .Did an hour today with the Springer Spaniel on a long lead

All great times, couldn't even dream of going under 1 hour 30 minutes! Doing a half marathon next month and hoping to do under 1 hour 50 minutes.

As long as you completed it, that is the main thing so well done
