I think if person have prepared for this event(even if little bit) he can run the race over 11km/h, its like aerobic training.. must be easy to do under 2hours. :bananalla
Maintaining 6 mph over 13 miles is no simple feat, anyone who thinks it is, should take up running.
You need to remember that not everyone is the same, maybe a lighter, younger person would find doing a sub 2hr 1/2 marathon "easy" (TBH, if you find doing 13 miles "easy" you aren't running hard enough), but we aren't all light, and young, you need to bear in mind I am 35 years old, and 15 stone, plus, I had 30 years of excess against me, it wasn't that long ago I was 24 stone.
If you knew anything about running, you'd know, and appreciate that running pace varies wildly across the board.
I bet a vast percantage of the population couldnt even run for a bus, let alone WALK 13 miles
Have you ever done a 1/2 marathon?, believe me, running 13 miles is nothing like running 5k, or even 10k, after 10 miles, things become quite different.
Best of luck to you today Dan! I don't really care about whether I win, I'll be very happy if the time makes you very happy. Hope you find a nice perky bottom to run behind
Blimey, 10 hours on a coach heading for Norfolk?, lucky man!!!, I am driving the other way!!.
Thanks guys, leaving in about 30mins, fingers crossed, remember, if anyone is in the area and fancies a laugh, race starts at 10:30am at Witchford School just south of Ely.
