Half marathon Thursday 8th Feb - 135 mins - 71 days till Marathon

Went out for reverse leg of the normal 12 miles, added another 20 mins and potentially 2/3 miles. Ran well for 135 mins with no twinge and good pace throughout. Crashed once home though, legs shaking and poor nights sleep after rehydrating too much.

The first hour is proving to be the toughest at the moment, once I'm past the 60 minute mark I'm feeling warm and ready to push on knowing that I've potentially a 1/4 of the total running time already behind me. Applying this theory to the 2 hour point is also massively assuring, the glass being most definitely half full at the 2 hr stage, not half empty.
