It was a beautiful morning for racing in the Wokingham Half Marathon on Sunday. I met fellow Vegan Runner Nik Windle at the start line, completely by chance, and after a bit frantic button pushing to get my Garmin to work properly as we set off I soon got right in my stride. This was my first race of the year, after marathon training all winter, and I was aiming to come in under 01:50:00 for the first time. I had a brilliant run…it was one of those days when everything just clicked into place. All the hard winter training has obviously paid off and I knocked a massive 7 minutes off my previous PB, finishing in 01:43:10.
What a way to start the year! Go Vegan Runners!!
