Passing another milestone

[GaryB1966]

Well actually fourteen to be exact. This morning I completed my first half marathon distance during training at a pace of six minutes 25 seconds a kilometre. All in all I completed 22.11km, something to which I’ve been building for a few weeks.

I wasn’t sure what to expect in terms of the aftermath but apart from some pain in my calves it hasn’t been to bad. Really pleased to be progressing 🏃🏼

Wow - really well done Gary and a really fast pace too. I am hoping to get to this milestone in the coming weeks as well.

Nice one! what was your training plan like?

Hi, to be honest it looks pretty similar to the one you posted with the addition of a couple of recovery weeks put in every fourth or fifth week. I run three times a week, cross train on a bike twice and have two rest days

Well done. 💪👍✔️

You don’t have to run the whole distance in training though. 18k should be sufficient before the big day. Assuming you’re planning a race that is 🙂

Congratulations! That's a brilliant pace too.
