What time did he run?
In around an hour
145 isn’t bad.
It’s not even club standard
Club standard is high.
Endurance not speed is my scene.
Half marathon is a long way. You spend a long time trying to convince yourself it’s not, but it just is.

Its not really. I like them though. A nice test
I once underestimated one and had four pints the night before. It’s about the worst I’ve ever felt doing anything. Unseasonably hot day. Not much to drink on the route. My fingers swelled up so much by ten miles that I couldn’t ball my hands into a fist.
Purgatory. 15 years later I still remember it.

“The Voice of Athletics”, Brendan Foster, bowed out by calling the men’s 1500 metres final a short time ago.
Manganoi of Kenya won.
I liked Brendan as I always got the impression he was the only person on successive BBC Athletics broadcasting teams who knew of the existence of Ireland.

Another “hamstring” injury for the Jamaicans in the women’s 4x400 metres relay.
Well done to the Great British and Northern Irish girls who got silver behind the Yanks.
