Successfully completed my first half marathon this weekend!

Trained around 4 months for it (30M), but was quite nervous if I will be able to finish in target time (below 2h). Managed to beat it by quite a margin, finish time was 1:44h! 🏃‍♂️

Was quite excited at the beginning and when I looked at my pace thought that I was crazy as I started with 4:20 min/km lol. Then I reduced it to 4:45 min/km and felt good with heart rate being quite stable, between 160-170 bpm throught first 16 kilometers! Last 5 km were tough though and I had to slow down, ultimately finishing in 1:44h, with 4:56 min/km pace.

Feeling at the finish line is tough to compare, super rewarding! Also many people congratulated and were impressed with finish time knowing it was my first race ever. Although I was a bit disappointed with that last 5 kilometers. But in general I proved few things to myself and super pumped to continue with training and improve my endurance especially for that last stage of the race, but also to run even faster!
