Started running in March last year, ran my first marathon in August, and a half in September
Half 1:23:40
Mara 2:59:36
I hate people like you, complete naturals. It taken me two years of training, running over 1000 miles per year, and I still haven’t cracked 4 hours for a marathon. Although my half is down to 1:46.
Fair play though, cracking times! 🙂 Did you really start from complete scratch running? You must have had an existing endurance fitness base.
My times are slow compared to the rest of you
5k 22:16
10k 53:09 (but have gone much faster in training since, that’s just the last official race time)
Half-marathon 1:46:08
Marathon 4:58:26 (but went through marathon distance in the below 50k in 4:30)
50k 5:51:21
Target for this year is 3:40 in Brighton Marathon, sub-1:40 in a half, sub 5h 50k. Should be achievable.
