from The Running Rules Podcast · host Alan Ladd

Today's episode is a race recap from Swansea half marathon where I was running for Northern Ireland masters alongside clubmates Andrew and Dawn.Running 5 weeks after pacing Belfast was always going to be a different challenge in finding some fitness and plan without having any structured half marathon prep behind me.I talk through the logistics of getting to and from the race which weren't straightforward, my plan going into the race and how it panned out and what I enjoyed most about the experience.I share the takeaways including the things that worked well and what I can improve on next time.I have a few slots still available for one to one coaching which takes the guesswork out of your training and racing.
