DO NOT NOT WEAR A STOPWATCH.

I'm finding this confusing...

Hi Guys

Well today it was the big one for me at the Plymouth Half Marathon. I managed to complete the route in 2hrs 20mins which was about 30mins faster than I thought I'd do it in.

Many Thanks to all those who gave advice on running, training & clothes/shoes etc. It was very much appreciated.

Nice one. Never mind SBZ...he fails to comprehend how anyone could take any more than an hour to do it. I believe he's probably the fastest runner here...whatever the distance 🙄

Good effort! I have taken up running to try and get fit, doing 5k 3 or 4 times a week in 30 mins, its killing me!! I don't know how people manage to run 10k or more...it seems a long way off for me.

oop north - keep going mate & build up slowly. I'm 50 in a month & I was out running 2 or 3 times a week from February, starting with 1mile, then 2.5, then 4, then 5, then 7 & finally 8miles non-stop.

For me pacing myself was the key to running the 13.1 miles & was also for me a run into unknown territory but the people cheering me on seemed to help. Don't give up mate & keep up the training runs. I've also noticed the benefits from running with more endurance on my bike rides too 😉
