I reckon Batch should have a go at the bull run I think the words red and vodka are missing either side of bull.. Would like to do Paris but the family wanted to go = too expensive. Possibly off to see my dad next year for the first time in about 20 years. He lives near Maastricht, and there is a half near there. Hmmmm. Definitely putting in for reading though. |

Which one? Was thinking of doing Reading myself. 1 hour, 47 minutes, 26 seconds (chip time). Considering I did the "easier" (flatter) Chippenham Half in 1:52:02 I was delighted, a real 41st birthday present to myself! Then 3 hours later I was plotting the sub 1hr 45 barrier Might give the Wiltshire half a go at the end of November actually, not sure sub 1hr 45 is on for that though. The improvement is addictive. My first two were very similar times to yours, then I went and did 1:36 in Bath and now I'm aiming for sub 90 minutes and it's going to kill me. |

Pretty sure 1:36 is a distant dream until I shift more lumber, but addictive it most certainly is!
There must be a point where improvement is very difficult, but I don't think I'm there yet.

It's getting the breathing right that I find hardest. Being 200+ lbs, I prefer cycling |

You still need to breathe when cycling too  I find with running that concentrating on my breathing means my brains focused on that rather than thinking "oh god, oh god, can I stop yet?". |

I've started running, after zero exercise for years, and I'm struggling like hell. Managing a 3 mile circuit but it doesn't feel great, and that's without my seemingly dodgy left knee, which starts hurting like hell after about 1.5 miles. |

How do you get breathing right?
After breathing out I find it helpful to breathe back in again and continue in that 'in-out' cycle. I hope that helps. |
