About this episode

Alan Ladd recaps his experience running the Swansea half marathon for Northern Ireland masters, discussing logistics, race strategy, and personal takeaways.

Today's episode is a race recap from Swansea half marathon where I was running for Northern Ireland masters alongside clubmates Andrew and Dawn. Running 5 weeks after pacing Belfast was always going to be a different challenge in finding some fitness and plan without having any structured half marathon prep behind me. I talk through the logistics of getting to and from the race which weren't straightforward, my plan going into the race and how it panned out and what I enjoyed most about the experience. I share the takeaways including the things that worked well and what I can improve on next time. I have a few slots still available for one to one coaching which takes the guesswork out of your training and racing. Find out more here: ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.therunningrules.com/coaching
