Hello all
It seems an age since I last posted a topic!
So I did the Bristiol half marathon last Sunday and loved it! Did anyone else do it and if so what did you think and what was your time?
I clocked a 2.00.38 and was resonable pleased as it was my first half marathon and I was sick at 6 and bit miles.
You might of seen me bent over the railings by the river feeding the ducks my breakfast!!LOL

The 2hr barrier is tempting, but out of reach for me at the moment unless I want to damage myself!
If it hadnt been for the sick episode I was on fopr 1.45.00, Maybe next year! Which half are you doing?
Running it with the misses and I know she's going to beat me dammit.
It was a good race, organisation is always spot on in Bristol. Same can't quite be said about Bath. But I'm a bit disappointed with my 1hr 41min finish, I was really pushing for 1hr 40. More training needed I think. I felt more tired after that race than I did after a half-iron two weeks earlier (maybe this was too soon?). In the half-iron I was pretty pleased with my 1hr 57min run.
To be honest I don't to very much training, maybe 3-5 mile runs twice a week at that pace (7min40 per mile) then in the last two or three weeks I'll do an 8 mile and 10 mile runs.
I'm 31, my max heart rate is around 194 and my forerunner says the average for the Bristol Half race was 184, so around 95%! Not sure that can be right but it might go some way to explaining why I was so tired in the evening, I pushed harder than I've ever pushed in this race trying to get under 1:40 and just missed it.
ouch!

I gather welsh back is a road name?
