I ran Leamington Spa Half Marathon today, a really good run with a great atmosphere!


 I'm a bit disappointed with my time. I was just over 2 hours - 2:03:58. I know I can do better than that and I keep questioning what went wrong. I was shattered by the end so it wasn't through lack of effort. I've been ill this week but honestly I felt great today. It was hot but I kept hydrated.

I think I need to accept that I was neither lucky or unlucky today, and that it was just a bit of a rubbish time. I've got plenty of time to work on form etc before the actual London event, and I'll try and book in at least one more half marathon before that.

In other news I pumped today's figures into https://www.mcmillanrunning.com - Now I have an actual race to use as a baseline, I can see what times I should be aiming for in training. The results are as follows:


So let's see if I can keep to those times while following the intermediate training plan.

12 weeks to go!
