LA marathon and Inverness half round up
Huge congratulations firstly to who ran her debut marathon at the LA marathon in 3 hours 48 mins at just 20 years old! Jasmine is the youngest runner I have ever coached on a plan and it was sooo great to work with her. I coached her Dad to run his first marathon a few years ago and now Jasmine too which makes this one even more special! She did so well in training and the race itself, running so many distance milestones and getting ready in less time than most marathon blocks due to an injury in early weeks. Well done Jasmine!!
Huge congratulations to who ran 1:25:35 ππΌ at Inverness half marathon. This was another great PB (7 minutes!) to add to his big 4-0 birthday year of running challenges having already ticked off a 5K and 10K PB. Moray marathon next!! πͺπ½πͺπ½ Rob keeps proving that you can very much get faster still at 40 (which makes coach happy with that birthday ahead this year too π€£)
Also, huge congratulations to .richard who, despite having a one of his less consistent training blocks, ran a huge PB of 1:26:42 (taking 5 mins off his last half marathon time). A good reminder that a lot of good aerobic building has happened since then still and itβs not just the final few weeks before a race that counts! Very impressive racing.
