For everyone who’s trying to do this, I can strongly recommend it. Today I ran the Harbour Capital Half Marathon as I planned.

My final time was 2:03, which was slightly ahead of my target of 2:10. The last 3 K was agony as the walkers in the 10K were clogging up the footpaths, but crossing that finish line was worth every second of it.

Seriously, do it and you won’t regret it.
