Running General Chat - Weekly Thread Sat 13 July 2024

Just a general thread about running. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury etc.
How did you go?
It did go fairly well. I was nervous till I got there. But as soon as I reached the race venue, the people and their excitement made me excited and I ran the first half at a pretty good pace for my standards. But after 11k, I was slowly getting bored and lost the fun in the run. Nevertheless, I pushed myself to finish line with a reasonable timing for my first half-marathon(2:15:00).
I always get bored after 11-12k, maybe because I don't listen to music while running(?). I am not sure.
Thats a really good time for a first HM. I was previously not doing anything when running re listening to something but I’ve recently been trying to listen to podcasts that I dont have to pay too much attention to. It would be good to have someone to talk shit with as well, just to take your mind off it.
Thank you. I guess my training paid off.
None of my friends are into running. So, I think I will have to order a bluetooth earphone then.
