Half Marathon... I did it!

http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=122298

Well I managed to get round!

Was pretty tough, I've never done a proper run before and although I run a fair bit of short distance/high speed stuff to help my Savate (in the 3 months before Euros/Worlds) I've done almost no training recently because of a bad ankle injury.

I only heard about this run 3.5weeks before it happened and only managed 13 runs preparation as managed another couple of ankle injuries whilst running! Apart from 2x10km runs and a single 15km on Wednesday I'd only done 5k'ers!!!

I'd expected about 1hr55mins and was hoping to get 1hr45mins if I was lucky.

So I'm bloomin pleased to have got 1hr34mins!

Apparently 280th out 15,000 entrants.

Cheers,
James

Thats very fast, although you sound like a serious runner at any lenght. Me and my lady did one at the begining of the year and did it in 2:10. I was happy with that approx 10kph with out stopping!





Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

blimey - that is even faser than my time IIRC - you must be pretty young, light built and damn fit.

I train a fair bit for Savate kickboxing:
Savate vid

but I only run very little. Guess Savate makes you fitter than I thought!
