A training session and a half tonight.

Tonight at my race walking session it was event simulation for the start of my Half Marathon a week on Sunday.

My coach and I have been doing the calculations and I am going to be going for just under 3 hours for the 21.1km. Hehe In Theory. Personally I would be so chuffed if I could.

So today’s training was 12 laps around the 400m circuit and I was aiming for 3:20 per lap. The first four went well then I started tailing off a little and by the time I had finished the 12 laps I was 1:12 min behind schedule.

On saying that I started race walk training in November of last year and my 1km pace time then was 9:36min/km. today’s 1km pace time was 8:39min/km. so the training is working.

I left the training session feeling positive about my event. I will do a reduced session next Thursday and eat a bit of pasta next week In preparation.

Just to think this time last year I was just starting out with the Active 10 to start building up my pace a bit.

Happy walking to you all

Oh Rfc you are doing so very, very well! The mere fact that you are doing your 2nd half marathon this year is amazing! Major surgery, flu, Dad's fall, looking after Mr Rfc, work, disgusting weather and goodness knows what other obstacles you've had to overcome to get to where you are now - that's a mega achievement! I have no doubt that you'll finish your race in the best time you can do - and that's the most anyone can ask for! x
