This post will be brief as I just want to publish my aims for my next race.
With the Severn Bridge half marathon only days away, preparation has been much better than for the race for men.
The last time I ran a half marathon was way back in 2009 so it's been a while.
My training has dipped away from cycling and swimming a little and focused more on upping the distance of my runs, which has gone fairly well. I've managed some 11.5-12 mile runs and felt ok over this distance so hopefully that extra mile or so will be achievable.
As for my aims for the race itself:
My first and only half marathon distance was completed in a time of 2 hours 31 minutes if I remember correctly. Back then I was two stone heavier and not very fit at all.
I am a little better prepared for Sunday, so I'm fairly confident of a PB (although I don't want to tempt fate)
What I am aiming for is to finish in sub 2 hours. The further under this time I can get will be a bonus.
So there we go, nice and simple...finish in under 2 hours.
Watch this space...
