Great stuff from Shane Wilson who recorded a 2min Geelong Half Marathon PB with a time of 1:38:40.
The most amazing thing about this run was Shane and his family had a very tough week with their passing of the family dog and wasn’t sure he was in the head space to run today.
I said it’s totally up to you and I put no pressure on his decision to run or not as his major goal is to do his first ever marathon at the Melbourne marathon festival in October.
He decided he would just see how he felt in the morning, which he felt okay so decided to do it as fun and not race which I said is totally fine. As he was running this morning he started doing some maths around the halfway mark as he felt good and thought he would put in a surge of effort and held up okay and was able to keep pushing and pump out a negative spilt which is amazing and well deserved with all of his training he has been putting in.
