Not my day today. But to be unhappy about a sub 2.45 is not a bad place to be! In a lot of pain from mile 10. Threw my toys out the pram at 16. Had a word with myself at 22.

Yesterday's splits. By Mile 14 I knew it wouldn't be my day. Stopped looking at the watch. I would have guessed miles 16 - 22 were all 7min plus. By 24 I looked at overall time and realised I could still do under 2.45. Fighting a stich in the last couple.

If your fairly new to running and your first half is 2 hour's with 6 month's of training a 3.30 is totally doable if you have some sort of base fitness. If you've tried a few times and struggled to break 2 then 3.30 may be a taller order
