Unplanned Half Marathon today. I got on the erg to warmup for what was going to be 20k easy steady state, and things just clicked, and I felt like it was "just one of those days" and I decided to take advantage of it.

Improvement of ~2:15 since my last one in July

Very nice session, very sweaty and pleased.
I have been going slow every second day for a wile now and added 5 min each day until it was one hour today and I pushed a little harder. Happy with 300 m improvement.

:D you somehow get hardened to the ultra distances, especially when you haven't got any choice. The 12hr was a charity challenge I decided to do for a very good friend who passed away from diabetes, so I had to do it once I had committed to it.

Outstanding piece, MJ. Only downside - this makes your other distance pieces look a bit weak. More TTs needed! :mrgreen: Well done.
You're right, I'll probably have to do at least one more 5k and 10k this fall to see what I can do.

Back to 10k from the 2k attempts last week. The good news is the 2ks gave me a better understanding of where the hard limits of my endurance are, which led to a 10k pb today!
