Excellent run and time for you Martevo, congratulations on completing your first Half Marathon in 2.15.17, more remarkable that you only started C25K two months ago

Go to the Marathon and Support page, tell the administrators that you have ran your first HM, after that you will see on that forum, not this one, the words Half Marathon next to your username.

Blimey, HM already πŸ₯΅ you dont hang about, and a fast time. I thought i was maybe going to far, to soon, but you've blown that theory out the window πŸ’¨. How long did c25k take you? πŸ€”

As the others have said - Amazing! Could you share with us how you managed it please. Did you stick to 3 runs a week for the recommended timing, and then how you approached the consolidation runs!Did you have aches and pains to deal with or any setbacks?

It's such an achievement and we will all be very interested to know.

Good luck for all your runs, but seems like you won't really need it with your natural ability.

Best wishes ☺️
