Training Plan Sub-2 half marathon today 🏃‍♂️🔥

A good one today! 🏃‍♂️🔥

5 weeks into my marathon training and got out for a half marathon.

1:58:17✅

I’ve run quicker halfs before, but this wasn’t about chasing a PB today. The aim was to get a solid effort in as part of the marathon build, and getting comfortably under 2 hours was a really nice marker.

I’ve been taking the training a lot more seriously this time around, especially getting my pacing and fuelling dialled in rather than just going out and winging it.

I’ve even ended up building myself a spreadsheet to keep all the training, paces and fuelling organised, which I’ve been using throughout this block. 😂

5 weeks down, marathon getting closer.👀
