@@ratb9362 thank you. I am very proud, if you’d told me 10 years ago that I’d be doing any kind of distance racing I’d have told you you were off your head. It’s a pretty big step for me.
@@iainjackfitness i hear you !! Im a 51 year old over weight woman and have been daft and signed up for Nice Marathon … yes, a whole Marathon 🥴🥴 not trained for it yet 😂 its the first week In November so probably aint gonna happen … ill cheer on the others 😂 plan was to get the weight off snd get back to my Running. It was a good plan 😂 Back In the day i did the Dundee half dram without training (just made it)…. Your video inspired me 👌 cheers. Got to start somewhere. Like your honesty 🙏 That was a good time you had too! Defo a pat on the back !!!
Amazing effort mate! Don't worry about the finish time not being what you wanted, that headwind from 8.5km to the finish just drains ya so much and definitely not a fast one because of it 😫. Marathon and ultra is definitely completely fair goals to have man you'll smash them 💪. Id suggest the long runs during your training block building up to over the half marathon distance or at least longer time on feet than you plan to run on race day. That will help later in the half when it gets tough. My long runs for half training are approx 24-25km and around 2hrs training for a 1:25-1:30 half so some long runs around 2-2:30 at an easier effort will definitely help build that endurance and strength for late in races 😊 Just posted my Scottish half vid last night. Look forward to following your journey man 👊
Thanks, man, really appreciate the feedback back. Gotta get the sound better for my next vid though 🤣🤣 . That head wind was a killer, man, really slowed me down a lot, I was flying up to that point and my legs didn’t really start fading till the last couple of miles. . I’ll def take into account your training recommendations for the next time, man. . Gonna go check out your video now.
@@iainjackfitness that's amazing if the legs lasted that long mate definitely something to be happy with. I'm sure a lot of others felt the pinch a lot earlier that day 😫😂 Yeah It was tough to understand the audio at points but my vids are like that too and just like anything we will get better over time. My partner just bought me a mic setup for my bday so fingers crossed I can figure that out and get crisper audio too 🤷😆
Well done! You should be proud 👍
