Last month, Abbie Donnelly took to her second race of the year in Spain. This time, the streets of Barcelona for the @mitjabarcelona half marathon.
In her 5th official attempt at this distance, and 2nd go at Barcelona, she clocked a wonderful 69:41. P163 overall, 8th female. Her PB remains 69:05 from the same event last year.
That’s a pace of 3:18/km for over 21km, and check out this for consistency in splits:
Dist Pos Time Pace
5K 157 00:16:27 3’17″/km
10K 164 00:32:48 3’16″/km
15K 160 00:49:21 3’17″/km
20K 163 01:06:10 3’18″/km
Fin 163 01:09:42 3’18″/km
Abbie continues to show her pedigree in World Athletics, with superb times in the longer distances, and big targets on the horizon. Couple this with dominant wins in XC last year as well as producing the 2nd fastest road 5km from a British Athlete in 2024.
Well done, Abbie!
