Ran my first half marathon in Islamabad at the Islamabad Marathon and what an experience it turned out to be.
The hilly course was tough but incredibly enjoyable – challenging elevations, rewarding views, and an electric running vibe throughout.
Finished the distance in 2:12, felt strong and in really good running form. Honestly, on a flat course with less elevation, a half-marathon personal best was well within reach.
Huge appreciation for the Islamabad administration and IRU for the excellent arrangements. A memorable run in a beautiful city.
Also thanks to my partners @pioneer.farmss and @ak48sports for their support.
