  • Did the Hackney Half yesterday, what a fun event! All was going well until km 17 and then was basically surviving, parce was sort of maintained but felt awful. Considering this is our first event after having a baby and we didn't really get to do much prep >10km (3 runs), I'm happy with what we managed and it's made me want to keep some kind of running fitness alongside my cycling

    Also Hackney Half yesterday. Doesn't feel like a fast course but was fun - support is great.
    Bit of a foot niggle recently so discounted any PB ideas. Was in the first pen and was somewhat daunting to notice I was standing next to a couple of elite women and a bunch of proper looking runners. Fortunately a few more normal folk filtered in before the off.

    Started out steady, built a bit in the middle, faded a little toward the end - though think that was more mental than physical as I've not done many longer threshold type runs.
    Did 1:22. Couple of mins off a PB but pretty content with it.

    I didn't envy the folks starting in the later pens - they were still crossing the start line as I was finishing, and the sun was definitely out by that point.
