My pace sheet is predicting a 1:41 right now. But there are two ways to play this. You go ambitious and attempt that time in the hope of a massive PB but risk blowing up at the end. Or you sit in with the 1:45 for the first 16km and then reassess with 5km to go, and if you feel strong you put your foot down and start picking off runners. This second approach could lead to a far more enjoyable experience, even if it does result in a slightly slower time that you can run. It if were my I would opt for the latter on this occasion, there will always be future halfs to improve on your time. Any problems with the schedule in the build up just let me know. I’ll post more details about Sunday next week with the potential of a car share.
