Tunbridge Wells 1/2 Marathon

1h 28:12

Virtually same time as last weekend's Brighton 1/2, but on a much hillier course so more pleased with time. Held good pace for first (flattish) third and last flat third. Good weather.

17th Feb 2008 - Run

Brighton 1/2 Marathon

1h 28:15

Rubbish finishing time, but a good day in terms of weather for running, clear and cold.

Lacking pace, poor 5th and 10th miles, not really sure why, legs just felt heavy and unresponsive. Shouldn't really be miling at 7 min+ pace!!

At the finish I felt like I could have done a full M at the same pace without lag-time I just couldn't seem to up the speed for just 13 miles. Hopefully Tunbridge Wells 1/2 next weekend will be better!
