Forums >Running 101>1st half - 1 hr 50 sound reasonable?
Paul in the Peaks
3rd of Oct, but not thinking too much about that yet!
I love running - after the event...

Congratulations! Good trainilng, good planning, good execution.
Well today was the day... clear skies (a little too warm) but hat, glasses and sun cream all sorted. Went out at 8:30/8:45 pace with the plan to see how I felt at around 8 miles. I could see the 1:50 pacer at 8 miles but he was quite a way ahead so sat until about 10 to see how I felt then slowly picked it up. Caught him with 1/2 mile to go and recorded 1:49:33. Very pleased as you can imagine (but physically broken). Thanks to all for advice and support, really made a difference. Hopefully I can pass on a little in the future! Paul

great job Paul! I knew you had it in you to break 1:50 nice work.
I ran a HM today as well & the heat got me 2nd half. around 80 by that time which is very hot for us around the Puget Sound.
thank you Robin/Skyedog.
running in 80deg sounds like a different sport to me, that's the warmest day of the year in the UK...
ran a mile in Spain at 90 deg last year and pulled up very quickly..
great time anyway especially in that heat - well done
not bad for mile 25
Congratulations Paul!
Great job! Glad you proved me wrong
