Quote from: lambdrew08 on August 23, 2012, 06:34:52 PMGood luck with the training, there is a killer hill at about mile 11 going upto Edgbaston from Cannon Hill Park so try and do some hill work if you can.I'm tempted as I've done the last two but it clashes with Norwich at home. I would have to get home,soak in the bath for an hour or so then go to the game. Probably wouldn't go down to well with my other half. The Norwich game is the following weekend, so you can do both :-) I'm supposed to be doing this, my first ever run, but my training has been knocked off line by, a gall bladder op. Have just resumed training and have got to see how it goes, got 2 months to knock myself into shape.

PB for me last weekend at Reading Triathlon in the run leg, 10km in 44:27 putting me 14th overall out of 290 athletes for the run split. All down to the new shoes I reckon.Windsor 1/2 Marathon coming up in a few weeks, target time 1hr 45.
Havent entered the Birmingham run yet but have got up to the 13 miles distance in training. Using the Sutton fun run course with extras added on, so some good hill work involved.The good thing was I managed to do the distance without stopping to walk, wasn't pushing time wise at all just steady steady the whole distance. The bad thing was it took me about 2.25 so getting near to 2 hours at age 55 might be a bit unrealistic.

I think you will smoke your target time in the 1/2 marathon, given the training you are doing. Good luck mate.
