Harrison and Hindley smash their P.B's on Reading Half

A stepping stone in the right direction in the quest to become an iron man, Harrison and myself clocked P.B’s in the recent Reading half marathon, this is an annual event for Harrison and for myself this race was run in the build up to get me prepared to run a marathon, the target for us both was to sub 1:30, however this looked bleak after Harrison suffered with stomach ache and I wasn’t feeling the best from a hard swim session on the Wednesday. Beside this we approach the race with a lot of spirit and enthusiasm, the energy drawn from the amazing crowd supported our race, whilst the beat of the drums running under the bridge gave us the drive to push on, beside the demoralising last mile, running into the Madejski Stadium was awesome. The picture above is of two wanna be elite athletes outside the elite tent with 2009 European cross country champion Hayley Higham.
