Gimme 3 Wise Medals
At the start of 2013 I was chasing a sub 2:25 half and I managed a PB of 2:18 at Robin Hood. Which them got me to thinking. Is a sub 2:15 possible for me in 2014?
And I bet I'm not the only Fetchie hoping to beat that time.....!

Yes, definitely: especially after achieving your sub 60 10K medal.

Good luck luck

Come to Peterborough in October, Perkins Great Eastern Run, it's flat and fast and we are currently sorting out pacers for different times and I'm likely to lead either the 2.10 or 2.15 group. We'll get you round :-)

I'll bear that in mind, thank you OM :-) I've got the English HM in September already booked.

That's a great time for a 10k, tag, and a great springboard for a sub 2:15 half. Sorry I have no advice or tips, never having achieved either!

Hi GimmeMedals, thanks :-)

looks like you don't do so badly though!

for your halfs did you do loads of long runs? Did you still do intervals and tempo runs?

I did a long run each week but the rest was a bit hit and miss. Intervals featured occasionally, tempo only by chance!
