Run > Long Run

Wissey Half as a training run. First half and longest run for nearly two years. Wanted sub-2 hours and c. 9mm if possible. I like this course (apart from the long drag uphill in mile 9) and enjoyed the run. Felt strong most of the way and had to keep backing off the pace early on. Started to feel it by mile 11 and backed off a bit in mile 12 but then picked up again for the finish. Pleased to run pretty consistent splits and it was just the lack of longer runs that made the last few miles hard. Otherwise I feel I could have pushed this a bit harder if I'd wanted to. But I didn't. And I'm in no rush to do another half, either!
