Sunday Send - Half Marathon PB 🙌
Months of hard work have gone into this one…
I was never a “runner.”
After finishing rugby, I used to swear you’d never catch me doing more than a 5km.
I’d say things like:
“Running is boring.”
“Who would want to do that?”
“What’s the point in just running?”
Well… things have changed a little.
Over the last 12 months especially, I’ve genuinely fallen in love with it.
Not the running itself, but the challenge it gives you.
👉 The ability to commit to a goal
👉 Do the work
👉 See real, tangible progress
👉 And meet some incredible people along the way
Back in March, I ran a 1:28:55 half marathon and was absolutely buzzing.
In September I attempted to break 1:25, and when things didn’t go to plan, I walked away with unfinished business.
Today, I hit a 4 minute 21 second PB coming in 1:24:21 and 13th overall out of over 1,000 people
It might not sound huge on paper, but that’s beating my previous self by over 1km about a 5% improvement and I’m incredibly proud of that.
And here’s the part that really hit me…
Just over 12 months ago, the pace I held today (3:59/km) was my absolute max for a 5km.
Today I held it for an entire half marathon.
That’s what consistent work does.
And to add some spice…
It’s still pretty warm here in Dubai, the course had a LOT of hairpin turns, and there was a 5km and 10km race happening at the same time.
So I was weaving like crazy the entire way… trying not to run over people 😂
Moral of the story:
Set a goal.
Do something you wouldn’t normally do.
Back yourself.
You never know how far it’ll take you or how much it’ll surprise you.
If you want to make yourself proud that WILL NOT happen in your comfort zone…
Now it’s 4 weeks until the Abu Dhabi Marathon where the target is around 3:05…
Before the main event in Barcelona in March, where the goal is to break the magical sub-3 hour marathon 🙌
Big love team… hope you’re all having an awesome Sunday ❤️💪
P.s for the rest of the day you will find me laying on the floor with a pizza in hand 😂🍕
