Well that didn’t go entirely to plan. Manchester Half Marathon this morning was going well for the first 16km/10 miles even clocking a 54 minute 10k but then a problem with my left quad meant slowing down drastically to try and prevent pain being unbearable to run so ended up run/walking the last 3 miles. I have a feeling it could have been the choice of footwear caused the problem 🤷🏻‍♂️ #running #ManchesterHalfMarathon #runningcommunity #runnersofmastodon #mastorunners #oldguysrule

Sorry to hear that. Being in good shape but then having to slow down toward the finish line just sucks.

I hope you're in good spirit, nonetheless. 2:02 is an absolutely decent result, and just finishing is something to celebrate. There will be more half-marathons.

@dredmann666 sorry it didn't play out the way you wanted but you crossed the finish line! There is always beer!
@dredmann666 sorry to hear! Fingers crossed it will be smoother next time!

Wow your avg pace stayed at that 54 min 10k pace. Rock solid, and you slowed down. Better to come in uninjured than push.
Great job!
@dredmann666 sorry to hear! But you did a great job! ✨
