Notes & Comments

BEDFORD HALF MARATHON - I clocked 1:43.08 on both chip and stopwatch, placing me 471st of the 1,323 finishers.

I clocked 1:43.08 on both chip and stopwatch, placing me 471st of the 1,323 finishers.

This was the third-fastest of the two dozen halves that I've run. Also, the fastest on an undulating course.

Really, really pleased with a good negative split - out in 52.19 and back in 50.49. Also, to have improved on last year's time in this race by about 5 minutes.

I found the first few miles really hard work, especially the inclines. Despite all my pre-race bravado, I began to seriously worry that my diet of short treadie training runs wouldn't be enough for a course like Bedford. After all, enough people had told me so beforehand.

But, around the nine mile mark, something just clicked into place and I really, really loved the last third.

Proves that there's a little life left in the old 'gym bunny' yet. Looking forward to getting back to warm indoor 5kms again this week.
