Cheers fella, it's a great half. It was frustrating knowing that I can usually run so much quicker but didn't want to risk making my injury recovery longer for the sake of it. Hopefully there'll be another chance in the future
@@runningcafe1 agree it is a great one but from what i remember there is a lot of turns and that slows you down too. im sure ill get another chance to do it.
Fingers crossed for next year! Having failed in the London Marathon ballot 4 years on the trot, I was very happy to have finally gotten a place in this half marathon. Thanks for watching!
What marathons have you got planned for later on in the year towards September October time? I’m booked onto Brighton next week but looking for the next one now
Have only got a 100 mile ultra booked for May so far, not sure if I’ll be able to do that as recovering from injury. Check out findarace.com and there’s usually a good listing of all upcoming marathons. If I recover as planned I’ll be booking more later in the year for sure
Thank you for the kind words! I'd say make sure to get a decent amount of training in beforehand if you can. I was injured before this race so couldn't train or run very fast unfortunately. Secondly, I'd recommend bringing a couple of energy gels with you as they can really give you a boost, especially during the second half. Overall, it's a very nice and flat course so it's not too challenging and you will be fine as long as you have a decent level of fitness and training. Good luck
All my running gear, and the gear I use to make my videos, is linked in the description 👟🏃🏻♂️📽️
Ill be running this one in 2024!
It will be my first half marathon! Im excited but very nervous!
Good luck, it's a fantastic race!
See you there!

Never took part in this one, didn't even realise it was on. Well done lad.
Cheers for that, it's a great half and I'd highly recommend it
