The Retford Half Marathon.
My 9th year here, it’s a course I know, I’ve run it every years it gone ahead since 2015. It’s one of my favourites, largely because it’s a great challenge with its rolling, undulating course. I enjoy it. My best time has been 1.11.18 on this course before, take a watch to see how I got on today. How will I fair in the wind, rain, flooded country lanes and will my legs be able to handle the half marathon pace, after what has been my highest mileage week of my London Marathon block so far. It ain’t pretty, it isn’t perfect, but there isn’t any point in hanging around for perfect to come.
Naomi had another fantastic race, enjoying the experience and thriving after her recent build up of mileage.
Most importantly today we did it with our pals by our side, just another Sunday long run, like we do every week, together. Excited for London Marathon to come around and see how we get on, on the streets of London come April.
110 miles this week, not long to go!
