New challenges

I started this blog while I was preparing for my first marathon - Brighton - earlier this year. After finishing the marathon in 4 hours 27, I took a little break from blogging but now my love for running has returned and I'm ready to talk about my next adventure.

Since the marathon I've joined a running club in Gloucester, which I'm hoping is going to make me faster. I completed a 5k in June and got a PB of 23:30 so now hoping to break 20minutes.

My next race will be Bristol half marathon at the end of September. I'll be running with a few people from work so it'll be my first race running with a group. I'm aiming for under 2 hours - I was running a half marathon in 2:10 whilst marathon training so hoping with a bit more speed work this should be achievable. 

So I'll be using this blog to update you on how I'm getting on and also sharing any news and thoughts on my aim to get faster.
