Half Marathon Training Journey
While I have run several half marathons in the past, I will be aiming for a Personal Record (PR) time, which may prove to be quite a challenge.

My training will ramp up in the 3 months (now 2 months) prior to the May 2025 race!

My base goal is to finish in 1h50
My training goal is to finish in 1h45 - pace of 4:58 min per KM; beating my PR of 1:46:45
My stretch goal is to finish in 1h40
