I wrote earlier this year about how I’m training for a half marathon that will take place this November at the iconic Silverstone circuit.
When I started training, I hadn’t run more than 10kms in a single session. Ever. But now during my long run training sessions, I’m slowly increasing my mileage to get closer to the race distance of 21kms.
It’s really motivating that I get to hit distance-based personal bests as a by-product of training for this half marathon. It’s a buzz to know that I’ve never pushed my body farther on a single run, and it gives me added motivation to keep up my preparation for the race.
