So the last thread seemed quite popular, let's do it again.

Just a general thread about running for the week. How's your running going? What are you training for? Did you get new shoes? Sporting an injury Etc....

It is technically more than a week ago, but I finally managed to break the 2-hour barrier on the half marathon with a 1:56:00. I'm not sure whether it was entirely healthy though, with an average HR of 180 bpm. I don't think I've ever felt as broken as those last 6km. It was a very hilly course (total ascent of 133m), which I'm not at all used to since the Netherlands is usually flat. But I did it, which feels great :)

Great job breaking the 2h barrier, I'm hoping to do that this spring.

133m total ascent over a HM stretch wouldn't be considered hilly though, would it? I have a 6k route that i can only describe as pretty flat (not Netherlands flat, but still), and it has 40m of total ascent.

That depends on you surroundings probably. This is what my watch recorded as the height on the HM and this is a normal ~10K for me
