So to mark my 6mnths (miby 7) from starting C25K I competed in my 1st duathlon race. 2mike run πŸƒ 10mile cycle 🚴 and 2 mile run πŸƒ. Wow I knocked nearly 7mins off my training time. 1sr time ever in a race environment in a competition. Some fast guys out there. My second run hurt but that's because I pushed the cycle, I actually made up 8 places on the bike but then lost 4 of them in the last run. The winner done it in 53mins. So I. Happy with my effort of 1hr 11mins ish. Forget the pace on strava as I put it all through as a run.

Well done on completing your duathlon Johnny, you seemed to have enjoyed it very much, good time of 1 hour and 11 minutes, all that cycling and running must help you with your quest for running a 10K or half marathon.

I wod love to run half marathon but untill I can get left footed sorted I can't seem to do over 8k without pain. I'm. Working hard on it and going to a specialist but he says it may take a while. So I till then I have to make do with the shorter runs.
