Virtual Edinburgh Half Marathon Challenge - Run report

This weekend should have been the (postponed from May) Edinburgh Marathon Festival events, which were replaced with a number of virtual challenges (#emfvirtual2020). All of the same feelings, emotions, worries were there. I ran my half marathon this morning with a buddy, which I’m not used to but it really helped get round the route as my training has been a hit up and down given current situation. In the end the conditions were great and I thoroughly enjoyed running in a bit of Edinburgh I’m less familiar with. We ended up overshooting the distance a wee bit, but still managed a not too shabby 1h 55m. So while the buzz of a big organised event wasn’t there, we still had a great time.

Well done! I was really looking forward to Edinburgh half! Roll on next May 🏃🏽‍♀️😍 My dream is sub 2 hour but I don’t think I’ll ever do that. Fantastic pace.
