ANOTHER HALF MARATHON DONE!
Rich Halford completed the Bristol Half Marathon last Sunday and a personal best too! Here is an up to date statement from the marathon man himself
‘So, Bristol Half Marathon complete with a PB! What a day! Early alarm set for this morning to get over the bridge to Bristol for my first run outside of Wales, and what a day it was! Amazing atmosphere on a fantastic and well run event! Plenty of support all the way around Bristol City Centre and the long hog down the endless Portway straight was brutal, but the drums and music were definitely keeping me in the game! Hammys were twitching between mile 8 and 9, but smashed my last gel and kicked on! I had a game plan for my time, keep sub 8mins per mile, get a dozen fast and i could get a PB. Which I did, and I’m super happy with a time of 1:42:38s. Banging! Thanks for everyone’s support, means a lot! Xxxx So a little recap for everyone, I’m running three half marathons this year! Newport, Swansea and Bristol, fundraising for a fantastic gymnastics academy, CNGA. City of Newport Gymnastics Academy. Please help out and donate if you can, no matter how small a donation, as every penny counts. A Here’s my go fund me link https://gofund.me/07d027292
Many thanks,
