My Bucket List / Fitness Goals
Achieve A Sub 90 Minute Half Marathon
Ticked off in March 2026
What it is
A sub-90-minute half marathon means averaging under 4 minutes 16 seconds per kilometre for 21.1 kilometres.
How to do it
Follow a 12-week plan with long runs, tempo and interval work, and race on a flat course.
Top tip
Run with a pacer if the race has them.
My experience
Done in March 2026. After years of hovering around 1:32 to 1:45, I finally ran 1:29:14 at the Cambridge Half Marathon on 8 March 2026.
Following on from just completing a half marathon I wanted to set an ambitious target for myself.
My times for this event have always been around 1:45:00 to 1:35:00 so a natural target to aim for is the Sub 1:30:00 – its a tough ask but could remain illusive for a while!
