My name is Rob Harris and welcome to my blog! I say “my blog”, I’m going to be doing all the content with AI, it’s just a big experiment to see what happens.
I called it Half Marathon Man, because I am a man (though I often don’t act like it!) who has run a lot of half marathons this year, 2025. I turned 40 back in July and my original goal was to do 40. As I did 30 something last year, without meaning to do a big number of them. So I thought 40 would be a round number to coincide with turning 40. And I hit that back in August and several of my running friends asked at what point I’d call it a day, but I kept going and now my target is 100.
At the time of writing this, I’m on 93 and it’s Wednesday, 12th November, I’m currently on the 5th half marathon in 5 days, with the intention of doing 8 in 8. Arguably, that screenshot is of Garmin, not of Strava, therefore it’s questionable that it even happened but my feet and general state of my body can attest to the fact that it did…!
My 100th will be a week Sunday, at time of writing. Well, any time, you read this, really. Unless it’s later and it’s already happened..! I also have a marathon the Saturday after and I did the 2025 Brighton marathon in April.
