PB at the Hoka Runaway Sydney Half Marathon

Join me as I tackle the Sydney Half Marathon, achieving a personal best time of 1 hour, 21 minutes, and 28 seconds! In what was a brilliant race, I ran alongside my friend Nick who set a pace of 3.42 minutes per kilometer, placing us not far behind the 1-hour 20-minute pacer. During the run, we passed iconic landmarks like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, and it was really interesting to see Sydney from a different perspective, running down 4 lane motorways!
The event, sponsored by Hoka Running, Pure Nutrition, and many more, was an awesome opportunity to see both elite runners and those hitting their first 10km on the same course. Long-distance running has now become a primary focus of mine in the lead-up to the Gold Coast Marathon, and with a solid result at this race, I'm really excited to see what I'm capable of at the marathon distance.
In recent times, I've been fueling the entirety of my training and recovery with the help of Pure Nutrition's sports nutrition products, which is a brand that I'm passionate about, having had some great race experiences using their products, so be sure to check out their energy gels, electrolytes, protein and more!
Whether you're a seasoned runner, a beginner seeking motivation, or simply interested in the excitement of running events, I would highly recommend the Sydney Half Marathon.
This footage was filmed on Gadigal Land. I want to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land, their elders; past, present, and emerging, as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people throughout Australia. We are blessed to be able to race, train, exercise, and live in this incredible place. Get out there and go and see it!

Congrats and very well done! 1.21 is a very respectable time even with the leg cramp. I used to live in Sydney and Melbourne but never got into running. Now that I am an amateur marathon runner, Sydney is on my list for my next destination race.

Thanks so much for watching Catherine and hope your running is still enjoyable and fulfilling!

[@affinitystablepeanuts]

Seen that guy with that sign as well! Also made me appreciate how lucky I am that time. IIRC he was around Pyrmont/Maritime museum. Hope he had a nice run this year around! Don't know his name unfortunately.

[@felixoates]

Thanks for leaving your thoughts Amber couldn’t agree more with that sentiment! Yeah who knows maybe he’ll come across this video and we can find the mystery man!

Great stuff mate... Putting that pace whilst recording and commenting, you can definitely go harder if not holding the gopro. Love the content though... Inspiring words in the end too! Keen to have you for an FTA Track session or pool session anytime soon! Cheers. #STAYFORTE | FTA

Thanks Guilherme! Yes agree that I may have lost a little time but stoked to be able to share the story of the race which was also important to me! I would be SO keen to join you boys down at the track and do some filming! What days are you there??

[@gppgarcia]

@@felixoates Weds or Thursdays afternoon 5ish. It varies depending on everyone’s schedule each week. I will get more consistent once it gets closer to the WC in Finland. How about we get together there in July?! 🙌🏻🔥
