    It’s a great race, made so because of the huge support. That last hill though - I walked it in 2022, ran it in 2023. Took 20 mins off my previous run. And spotted you after the finish! Great time fella, well done.

    Another smashing video Harry. I’m all signed up to Cardiff Half this year, in the land of my fathers…this has really reignited my enthusiasm for it. Think I might give that plan a go - Aldous is (quite roughly) doing the 5k improver plan and we think it’s fabulous. Going for my second sub 2 attempt in a few weeks, so who knows what I’ll be aiming for by then. Congrats on the sub 90, that is unimaginably fast. Olivia

    • @thisisjogon
      @thisisjogon  9 місяців тому

      Fantastic Olivia. It’s a wonderful event. As demonstrated in the video, like so many big races, within minutes you can go through drums and cheering crowds to silence bar the sound of trainers on tarmac
      Enjoy the experience and the journey to get there

Inspiring and think everyone who run ( and it doesnt matter if you run a hm in 2 hours 1.45 sub 1.30 etc) and watch your videos recognise one way or another certain aspects in it. But what i wanted to say. Saw your 5 k time sub 18 and 10 k sub 38 so you should in theory really run under sub 1.24. ( I never run under 38 in a 10k or 18 min in a 5k but hm pb is 1.24. 29. ) Good Lucky with your running Journey and movies.

    Harry, from the US, I hear so much about “rainy” Great Britain. Yet from watching your races it either looks no different from my NYC area, or you’re a very lucky event date picker. Which is it..?

      Superb question. I get very lucky. It's become a bit of an inside joke that I somehow seem to select dates with great weather. However, we did recently host a meet-up and all the luck left: it was miserably wet.

      I think you could do it so long as you take it slow and build up over months. I started 5ks and am now itching to get going on some 10ks but am letting my body catch up first. Kind regards, mate.

    I'm 61, so my goals & PBs are considerably different to yours, but quite simple: (a) my 10k finish time must beat my age (2023 PB 49:57) and (b) my 13.1 finish time must beat my age x2 (2023 PB 1:58:03). Otherwise, I just keep to myself and Jog On. Thanks for the entertaining videos!

    Love your content man! As a guy who’s lost 120 lbs since starting his running journey 5 years ago I find your videos inspiring. And I love your humility and sense of humor as you go for your goals. I have to say, as a guy with 17:40 PR for the 5K.. I’d think you’d be well below 90 mins for the half. My 5K PR for a road course is in the low 17s and my PR for the half is 80:22, run in late 2022. Then, last year I ran a 17:28 in August, and wound up running 82 mins in October on a course with 1,300 ft elevation gain … which I think more or less translates into the same type of result as 2022. With 17:40, I’d initially estimate you’d be anywhere from 80-83 mins. Don’t sell yourself short! Considering I keep getting low 17s in the 5K, I’m shooting for a sub 1:20 in two months on a downhill course. All my best to you!
