After a long lay-off from competition due to work commitments, I was not able to train properly for the past few months. My training was significantly reduced due to a lack of time, as I only ran 3-4 times a week with no long runs at all. Despite this, I wanted to test myself and see how I could handle the 20.7km race. My plan was to see how long I could hold my half marathon pace of around 4.30 per km. I think I maintained the right pace, and I was surprised that I could hold it until the 7.5labs mark.
