  • Really chuffed for you both, excellent result.

    My hr was ridiculous for the last maybe 3k, above 180 and just rising, finally to 200. I feel like it might coincide with my knee pains, is that a thing?

    Possibly so but something I've not seen before I think. If your body was kicking out adrenaline to deal with the pain perhaps the hr rises?

    Hope it's not too painful today & you can get back on the bike & running soon.

  • Thanks again, you've been a huge help in getting us both ready for it. Other half seems truly bitten by the bug and will be keeping it up I think. I'll keep running but I think maybe only up to around 10k or an hour? We'll see. Bus today in any case!

    Another thing I was thinking this morning is that I totally underestimated a half marathon and how difficult it would be - I thought my on-bike fitness would transfer, and to some extent it did, but the amount of conditioning you have to put your body through to run for 2+ hours is incredible. Renewed respect (not that it was lacking) for those of you who regularly run distance and seem to be able to do so in comfort!

  • We’re not in comfort, we’re just better at hiding it ;)

    Massive congrats on the race, glad you got round!

  • No worries, you both did all the hard work in getting the training done.

    Glad you'll both be sticking with it to various levels, if I can help further just shout.

    To borrow from that cycling quote, it never gets easier, just faster/further!
