Dvorak 16 Sep 7:04pm, 16 Sep 2024 28,074 posts	0 Dvorak Well done @Autumnleaves Good luck @Daddy Kong, I'm also doing a HM after a long gap (8.5 years). Except mine is also this weekend. I can guarantee it will not be sub-2. My last one was, not by much, so I'll need a significant WAVA improvement to do it again. @Snail, is it on for April 25 now? (In @Velociraptor, I have (conditions permitting) every faith.)

Snail 16 Sep 11:00pm, 16 Sep 2024 2,957 posts	0 Snail Unfortunately picked up a muscle injury that has mucked up the last 6months for both running and longer walks. Did a very good 5 mile running event in March and it would have been interesting if I had carried on running to see where that would have taken me towards a HM time. Am on a course of physio at moment but not sensing much progress. Would love to have another HM attempt next year but not feeling very confident at moment

Velociraptor 22 Sep 7:27pm, 22 Sep 2024 71,045 posts	0 Velociraptor I confess to not having suspected I had that in me just now. But it felt really comfortable throughout. Not saying I could have run any faster, but I could have managed a few more miles at the same speed, which is just as well because a few more miles at that sort of speed is exactly what I hope for in two weeks' time.
