Over the last five years I’ve gone from an overweight smoker, to a non-smoking sub 2 hour half marathon runner, to someone that is now a healthy weight and composition and who has just run a 1:30 half marathon. I’ve worked with Alex throughout this period and can honestly say their input and encouragement have been central to this dramatic change in my lifestyle and performance. A combination of their attention to the individual’s needs as well as a pragmatic understanding of how real life intrudes in non professional athletes has been invaluable. So 1:25 next?!! So after all the training and dreaming I fell just a little short but 11mins faster than last time so I guess I should take that. 1:30:07 for the Bath Half today!
