Can I break 2:30? Basingstoke Half Marathon Training Diary Week 1

The Reverse Taper series is done — time for a new challenge! I'm now training for the Basingstoke Half Marathon in October, and this video kicks off a new weekly series following every step of that build-up. Whether you've been here since the ultra or you're just joining, welcome — this is a great place to jump in. From 6 marathons to a long hiatus, weight gain to nearly 18.5 stone, and a fresh start at 55. Follow my journey back to fitness through Slimming World, ultra-marathons, and chasing new goals.
