15.55 miles
11:28 pace
My first run over the half marathon distance, at my predicted marathon pace 11:30m/m. This felt a good pace to keep training at at the moment. This run included 2 loops making up the whole Folksworth 15, so included 6 pretty tough hills. I dug deep and didn't walk or stop which is a fairly big achievement for me as I'm normally not so stubborn and give in easily. I'm trying to work on my mental strength over this training schedule as I know that will make or break my marathon.

Well done on the not stopping! The first time I ran it I allowed myself to walk the last killer hill at mile 14. Horrible hill placement!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I was tempted to walk this weekend in the race but I stuck with it. Those hills are a killer :(
