When we booked our holiday and I signed up for the Coventry Half Marathon I wasn’t looking for anything else to do, honest, but this popped up or I searched for something and found it and well I thought what the hell why not right?!
With the number I got given I must of signed up super early. I remember them giving it to me and thinking “I am so glad this isn’t seeded lol!” Also it will probably be my lowest number ever so I’m going to treasure this one.
My training was all aimed for the Coventry Half, now my training plan said I was supposed to do 11 miles on the Sunday I did my 10K race but I thought my pace would be “race” pace if I did the 10K and well it’s good practice. I’m hoping when I do the Coventry Half that this is going to be true!


I started off at a steady pace. I knew I didn’t want to go out fast and thankfully I just let everyone who wanted to run past me. I wasn’t bothered in the slightest (YAY!)













The medal is just lovely and matches my Leicester Marathon t-shirt. The t-shirt oh the t-shirt it’s lovely but they must of given me a ladies size XL as that orange thing is tight! One day soon I’ll be in it though!
Oh another thing while I remember, I LOVE the fact that all Leicester things seem to be orange. It’s my second favourite colour, just need to find the city which is all green now!

Now remember how I said I thought I was aiming for a PB well for some reason the course was just shy of 6.2 miles, overall I did 6.1 miles in a chip time of 1 hour 9 minutes and 36 seconds! Overall I did it at a pace of 11.35mi which I am still amazed at even after almost a week of letting it sink in!! I ran all of it to, no breaks which for me is amazing. I’ve had trouble lately with not being able to run the whole time and having to have breaks, so to run it all makes me so proud.
So that was the Leicester Town and Gown 10K. I really did love every second, which you can see in the photo’s. I felt amazing doing the hills and I didn’t get as board as I thought I would doing three laps! Would I do it next year if given the chance, hell yes!!!
