Completed my sencond half yesterday, have not trained for a month due to flu, finished 1.37. Please enough, Need to lose weight and put in both speed and distance work, would like to break 1.30
Brilliant time... I'd imagine if you keep chipping away at it then taking 7 minutes off would be ok, what part of the race did you feel stronger? It's the last 2 miles I find that I started to sprint!! do the next one and stick to a 1.30 pacer (if they have them, most good races they do)
I've done a couple but can't beat 1.38 but I'm not a distance runner, at 5.6" I'm at a serious disadvantage

Felt terrible throughout thought I was going die or bonk for the last mile.
I love your suggestion about sticking to 1.30
Have asthma, controlled using symbicort, found the blue inhaler didn't work with me

97p on the Armagh to Portadown road, been under a quid there for about 5 weeks.
76p if you drive to Ballina!
