Helen's Run to the Beat Half Marathon
Run to The Beat 2010
Sunday 26th 2010.
So this was my first attempt at a half marathon, with a basic 12 week training plan, which consisted of one week completely lapsing when visiting the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. With butterflies in my stomach I set off for Run to the Beat half marathon. ‘Run to the Beat 2010’ was a fantastic event, with such a great encouraging atmosphere.
The idea is you run round, listening to live bands and pumping sound systems designed to keep you motivated! The start was delayed by and hour but this didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits and when we finally got going the sun was shining with a cooling breeze throughout. The music really did keep the energy high throughout, even with a few impromptu CD players blasting out of peoples houses along the route!
We crossed the finish line in 2 hours 20 minutes, which was slightly slower than we’d hoped, but still a great achievement that we were proud of! Well done to everyone who was there! Roll on the next challenge.
