Really good training. I need to keep in mind that it’s training and not a race. I wanted to push myself a little bit more but I’d rather push myself on Sunday.

Sun
21.097km half marathon in
Time: 1:48:44
The first 16km felt fantastic. I kept up a pace of 5min per kilometer. After the sixteenth kilometer a few hills appeared and they finished me off and my pace slowed down a bit. About a kilometer or two to the end I thought for a moment I wasn’t going to make it but as soon as I heard the announcers voice over the megaphone I ran faster and managed to finish my first half marathon with a much faster time than expected.
