A highly unlikely sub 2 half happened today!
Hi all!
I just wanted to share my joy:) I posted here around 1.5 months ago asking if sub 2 half marathon is in the cards for me given my current run stats, and the consensus was that it’s almost impossible (which I honestly agreed with and was thankful for much needed disillusionment)
Fast forward to today, I finished Hackney Half in London in 1:59:53. I still can not believe it. My heart rate went though the roof right at the start because of how nervous I got, and I was even more convinced that sub 2 is not happening as I will surely not be able to sustain that HR for two hours.
Moral of the story is, I guess…miracles happen!? 😅
