A bit of a disappointing (kind of) PB

15M incl Bath Half Marathon in 69.17 (5.17min/M; 15th place)

This was probably a PB (my Cardiff Half in 68.27 last year was on a course ~200m short). But I was still a bit disappointed. I was hoping for something closer to 67mins. I've put in some hard miles since Cardiff and feel I should be faster than I was all those months ago. And I did taper properly for this one.

Having said that, it is a PB, and it's only part of the big picture... my build up to the London Marathon. Where can I improve? I think Ron and I are agreed that my tempo running has probably suffered recently with my high mileage. I also struggle to really nail those runs when I run them with my pack on my back. I will remedy both of those.

Had a great post-race massage though.

Looking forward to getting back to proper training this week.
