5k-a-day

5k-a-day 55/365 – First time running a half marathon distance. Oh boy…!

Sunday 24th February 2019

  • Distance:  21.1k
  • Half Marathon practice run: 2:02:24
  • Total to date: 386.7k
  • Rolling target: 275k
  • Ahead of target: 111..7k
  • Distance remaining: 1438.3k
  • Days remaining: 310

Last Sunday I ran 17k. Today I decided to run the full half marathon distance to see what it would feel like.

I was hoping for a time under 2 hours but I stopped a number of times to pick up glass bottles and to clear broke glass off the footpaths and pavement.

The Liverpool Half Marathon is on Sunday 10th March. I need to practice running at a steady pace. The first half today was too fast and I noticeably slowed after 12k.




Help me reach my fundraising target for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
