Introducing myself.

Hello everyone, sorry for the long post.

I am Sivaram, aged 26 from Bangalore, India. Sorry that I never knew this forum existed until I was reading ju-ju's post today in c25k. I have enrolled for my first half this October. I have only graduated from c25k this July as a part of my new year resolution, so I am very happy for the progress I have made. Lost 14kgs from 84 and only 3kgs away from my exact ideal weight. Should be there in a month.

I am following a Nike Free plan which have a weekly mileage of approx 35 miles. Long runs begin at 8 and peak at 14.

This morning I was doing a Fartlek of 6 miles and without my knowledge I ran my fastest 10k of 1:00:49. My fastest 5k is 28.40.

Goal for the half is

1. Train and race injury free

2. Finish upright with a smile.

3. Shoot for 2.15 if everything seems right.

Hoping to get lots of advice and motivation from you veterans. And thanks ju-ju- for letting me know about the forum.

Happy running everyone.

Welcome! You are doing a brilliant job already, your plan sounds great. Your goals are spot on and you may surprise yourself with your time - I have done a few half marathons, and always gone a little faster than my predicted times.

I was initially thinking of a sub 2 hour finish, but this being my first race ever I dint want to beat myself up. There is a lifetime of running left :)

You are so right. The main thing is not to get injured!
