I decided to run my first ever half marathon! As a complete long distance novice I thought I'd share my journey with you! In this post I talk about why I wanted to take on the challenge of a half marathon, my training plan and goals for the race and what difficulties I think I'll face during training.
Dublin Marathon 2022

Training in the lead up to my first Middle Distance Triathlon
On Sunday 15th May I will compete in my first ever half Ironman triathlon at Nottingham. This involves a 1.2 mile swim, followed by a 56 mile bike and a half marathon run afterwards. This will be a big increase in race volume for me. Going from a 2 hour Olympic distance race to a 4 hour half Ironman race will be challenging. Overall, I’ve had to increase the training volume slightly compared to what I have been doing previously. Training has really been going well averaging around 12 hours per week with the last 6 weeks around 14 hours per week....
