Hard to know how it is going because I have not really been training for a sub 1:40 attempt but I have been doing plenty of other training (started on Seville Marathon training) so I should have a fair chance if I don't overdo things this week.

Arjin Nov 2013 5:14pm, 17 Nov 2013 62 posts	0 Arjin Gosport half done in 1:36:59 and I felt really strong at the end, so reckon I could go a fair bit quicker. so pleased with this though as it marks my real return to fitness after ruining myself on a marathon 2 years ago.
Nellers Nov 2013 5:39pm, 17 Nov 2013 26,525 posts	0 Nellers Nice on, Arjin. Very quick.:-) I ducked under 1.40 today too. 1.39.21 at St Neots. Very pleased with a race that went exactly to plan.:-)
