Hello again Ed,
just posting some feedback of my half marathon:
I managed a 1:47:13 mark which I am very proud of. I kept an average pace of 5 min/km all throughout 20 km, in spite of some challenging slopes. At the 10k mark I was steady at 50 min, and I arrived at the 20k mark in 1:40:38.
Then I absolutely died and needed almost 7 minutes for the final 1097 meters. :duh:
I will take a break for a few days. I do have some strains in my knees and lower leg muscles, so I will take it very easy for the next few days. Might do some light recovery jogs once the pains disappear.
Please let me know when you think I will be ready to start the 10k program, or maybe you need me to do the 4k time trial, or some other information. I do have a pulsometer and GPS which hopefully will come in handy.
Thanks in advance !
