I completed the New Forest half today, 1hr 54mins. It was my first half and I'm happy with that time, the summer holidays and looking after the kids really ruined my training plan!
Trying to decide whether to book onto the GSR in a few weeks time... that is all tarmac and perfectly flat, great for achieving a PB
Well done that's a great time. The Forest looked amazing yesterday. Hope you missed the dead squirrel in the middle of the road!
I the marathon in 3hr 44mins a little faster than expected. I think with more experience and training over that distance I can go faster, my pace dropped off after mile 20 and it got harder and harder, it felt like I was stilling going along at 5:20km pace but I'd look at my watch and it would be over 6, I felt like walking at times in the last few miles but was determined to keep running. I didn't feel like I'd run out of energy, just fatigue in my legs. You can't really train for how it feels, you just have to get us to doing it I guess.
I'd be interested in seeing what I can do on a flat road marathon.
