jaymdee Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Ran all 13.1 miles without stopping and my mate and I actually got faster as the event went on. total running time was approx 2 hours, maybe a minute or 2 either way. We also caught up with the group which started 5 or 6 mins before us. Don't know what time of the guy who 'won' but he went past us at a terrific speed, so I guess he was on for approx 1 hour for the whole thing:taped: When I crossed the line I had a real sense of achievement. I know it's only a half marathon, but I've never done something like that before, so was very pleased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-Brett Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Well done mate, a great achievement. 13.1miles doesnt sound much but i did one about 10 years ago and i know how hard they are. I was super fit at the time, with good allround fitness and managed 1Hr 49mins. At the finish (get this), i ate (you wont believe it) 12 mars bars, one after another. I have never experienced hunger like it at the finish line. I bet your hungrey now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Thats good effort mate, i did one just before Christmas, so i would think your legs are feeling it today aren't they??? so is this the start to getting into some serious running, i went this morning, its lovely now the light mornings are here, certainly beats the 06:30 winter runs!!

stevie_b Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I know it's only a half marathon, but I've never done something like that before, so was very pleased Hey, a half marathon is a fair whack! Being able to run that non-stop puts you firmly in the minority of people. I run a bit (just casual, no club running), but I currently don't have the stamina to do that non-stop.
