Half Marathon in the bag yay 😀

[Kevtrev]

I started CT5K March last year then I did parkruns then 10K training then I joined a running club the best thing I’ve ever done and I’ve learned so much plus the social side alone is fantastic so I started went further and further did 10 miles now today I went out and I ran Half a Marathon and I’m so proud of myself and I’ve never felt so fit. I remember my first week of CT5K the first 60 seconds nearly did me in 😂 now look at me 😉👍😂🏁🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Decker]

Thank you so much yes the running club have been fantastic and my coach has helped me so much 😉👍

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Kevtrev]

With a great coach and such solid club support, you’ll get stronger and stronger!

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Decker]

Yes he really is a great coach and more of a friend now he is 72 and park runs in around 24 mins I do take my hat of to him he always gets first in his age category 😉👍

[Decker Ultramarathon in reply to Kevtrev]

A 24 minute 5k at 70 years old?! Amazing! Wow, there is hope for us then!

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Decker]

I know that’s amazing and today he ran HM Trail race and was disappointed with his time 2 hours 12 min but it was very muddy and that cost him 10 mins of last year

[cheekychipmunks Half Marathon]

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Congratulations Kevtrev. You are certainly a c25k poster boy. What you have achieved in a year is brilliant - you should be so proud of yourself.

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Dexy5]

Thank you so much Dexy yes I am very proud of myself but I have improved so much by joining a running club and I really recommend it 😉👍

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon]

Wow, fantastic! Congratulations. Running is clearly a huge part of your life now, bet you had no idea when you went out for C25K W1R1 not so long ago 😍👏👏👏

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to linda9389]

Thank you Linda and yes I can’t ever see myself not running this is me now and the rest of my life. No I had no idea how far I was going to go with it and not in a million years did I think I would be able to Run Half a Marathon 😄😊😉👍x

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Kevtrev]

What next ????????????

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to linda9389]

I am running a Fell race at Christmas time I know a long way of but it’s called gravy pud it’s just over 5 miles but no one runs up the main hill it’s very steep x

[Windoze Half Marathon]

[Deals1 Metric Marathon]

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Just seen this - huge congratulations on your shiny new Half Marathon badge! "Wear with pride"!👍🙂

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you so much Sandra 😉👍 never did I think I would be running a HM but I think at the moment I’m going to concentrate on getting my time down. I don’t think I would do a full marathon I don’t think I have it in me

[Debston]

Just seen this, well done you! You're doing so brilliantly with your running. If someone had told you this time last year that you'd be running a half marathon I bet you wouldn't have believed it! 🏆 🥇 ☺

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Debston]

Thank you Debston I’ve not been on as much as I used to nice to hear from you are you doing well. And no I wouldn’t have believed it if you said I would be running a half marathon after just short of a year but I’m not sure if I want to do a full marathon?

[Debston in reply to Kevtrev]

Am doing OK, thanks Kev, though my dodgy hip has just started playing up again after parkrun yesterday so I am going to have to be a bit careful with it this week... Hopefully won't be out of action for too long! I can't imagine running a full marathon but I guess you'll know if you suddenly get the urge to give it a go. The furthest I have done is 10km, only twice but really enjoyed both times. That's far enough for me, for now!

[Kevtrev Marathon in reply to Debston]

That’s good glad you are ok make sure you get your hip sorted out you don’t need that do you. I don’t think I will be doing a full marathon to far and a lot of hammering on the body. Yes you do what works for you 😉😂

[sTrongFuse Half Marathon 10 Miles]

Well done. I started about the same time as you and amazed myself by doing my first HM in November and then another in January. Still to do an actual organised one (tempted to give Edinburgh a try in May). Like you, I can't believe how far (literally) I've come since that first 60 seconds that almost killed me. Can't see myself moving up to the full marathon either, but amazing that we've got this far.
