Half Marathon time

Saturday's half marathon training run in the gym was pretty successful. I had the treadmill on an incline to try a simulate street running, and I varied the pace quite a bit. I was getting tired towards the end, but nevertheless completed the distance in 1 hour 57 minutes and 34 seconds. That's over 5 minutes better than my previous best. No injuries, or niggles, just the continued stiffness in my right achiles in the mornings and for the first 1k of any run. I had a couple of days rest from running, then today I did a fast-ish 8k - 40 minutes (that's fast for me). Next run is Sunday when I plan an easy 15k, before raising the distances again for the following weeks, with a 22k and a 24k planned.
