Good fun at the Royal Norwich Half Marathon today
Chip time 1:57:12 really happy with that marathon training is going well just need to increase the mileage over the next few weeks. It was a really good race but a lot hillier than I thought it would be, anyone that says Norfolk is flat is lying 😂

Week 2 of marathon training done ✅
Nice easy 9.5 miles today to wrap up the week just under 20 miles in total. Everything’s going well so far just got to keep it that way.

Good 8 mile progressive run yesterday evening, I’ve decided to go for a slightly easier plan this year with the hope I won’t get injured this time 🤞

Marathon training restarted
Managed to pick up the flu that’s been going round last week so I’ve decided to restart my marathon training. Nice easy 4 miles today followed by legs tonight. Hopefully this marathon training block goes better than the last.

6 miles with Penny
Decided to take Penny out for a good long run so that she is nice and sleepy for the fireworks. I haven’t ran that far with Penny for a while we mostly do 2/3 miles so it was good to get her out for a longer run as well.

Half Marathon PB 🥳
Great race today, I went out with a goal of finishing under 2 hours so I’m really happy with getting 1:53:03 and a chip time of 1:54. Showing that the training is going well and I should hopefully be able to push sub 1:50 potentially at Norwich half at the end of November. Apart from the marathon it has been a really good year so far for my running setting 2 HM PBs a 10km PB and a 5KM PB as well, just need to sort out my marathon time now.

10 miles yesterday 6 miles today 🏃♂️
Yesterday was suppose to be 10 mile progressive run but after a few rough nights with Lottie last week I decided to take Penny out for 4.5 easy miles then another 5.5 miles by myself. Then today a nice easy 6 miles managed to mainly nasal breath for most of the which I was really happy with.

Busy week 🥵
Good 5.5 miles easy this morning meaning I’ve done just over 15 miles this week, thankfully it was deload week from running as I’ve done 6 spin classes and 2 strength sessions this week so my legs have taken a bit of a battering. I wanted to get another leg session in either today or tomorrow but I think I need the rest 😂 we go again on Monday.

Run Norwich
Race was going really well and I was in for a really good time until 50m from the finish when a lady collapsed in front of me. Myself and some other runners tried to help the lady up so she could finish but unfortunately she wasn’t able to so we stayed with her until the volunteers took over. I stopped for 5/6 minutes with her so my chip time was quite off my watch time but I couldn’t not stop and help. But as always Run Norwich is such a good tough race and the crowd was amazing
Big thank you to everyone that came out to support us especially on her birthday.
Chip time - 57:24
Watch time - 51:53 (second fastest 10k 🥳)
