FRECKLETON HALF MARATHON DONE ✅️
My first half marathon. Runna | Running Coaching App had me predicted to finish between 1:54-2:04 but I started feeling a little optimistic about reaching that when the long runs slipped a little towards the end of the training block. Then came the weather ☀️ knowing how hot the day was going to be i just knew I wasn't going to achieve that time. The morning before my montly cycle arrived 6 DAYS EARLY 🫠
The route itself was lovely, the event was fantastic, well set up, all the Marshalls were great, the supporters throughout the route were awesome too. It was incredibly tough in the heat and little shade until the last 5/6km. My legs were dead by the last 2km and it was a matter of digging deep and pushing to the finish line. I stopped at every water station and topped my water bottle up everytime to stay as hydrated as possible.
Seeing my little girl and carl at the last km was everything and squeezing evie was needed. I got so emotional.
Finishing in a 2:25 ill take that. First half marathon, the events UK oldest half marathon and this one marked the ladies 50th race so the medal is pretty special
