Thanks Andy... I've actually got some 1lb weights that go into my ankle weight pockets so I could use them.

I have now started to add a 3rd run into my weekly training which is mainly a hilly route to help.

Is it realistic to think that I might be able to at some point run say ...........1:40 :eek: or is aiming to get a sub 2hr the best that I might expect.?

Hey Granty,

You can definitely hit your goal of 1:40!

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. The only thing you need to determine is whether or not you're willing to put in the time and effort to make it happen.

Shaving 20-30 minutes off your time will take some work. Have you tried the Half-Marathon 12-week Training Program at myTreadmillTrainer.com???

I would highly recommend. It's design is based on the latest science and how the top runners train.

You're some salesman, your website's getting a mention everywhere!

I think it's dangerous to say "you can definitely..." anything. Not to put a dampener on it, but that looks like an advert, not advice.

Everyone has a limit, and there are no certainties in the world. Certain things can push you in the right direction, but anyone promising anything I don't think should be allowed.
