My first ever sub-1:40 half. Pretty chuffed with the time after turning 50 in January.
My PT set me a 3-month training plan, which was horrendous at times, but it did the trick.
Wore carbons for the first time in race. Made a huge difference with recovery, especially on inclines.
But I think they did lead to my back twinging in the last mile and then going into spasm after I crossed the finish line!
Well done on the PB.
Amazing what some structure can do to timings.
I started running again in January - Couldnt run a mile in 12mins (Horrific i know) Did my first "Proper" 5K last week and hit it in just under 27 mins.
Still a way off my PB from circa 10 years ago - but for someone thats done no fitness since until January for circa 7 years - i was happy.
