Easiest way to pr in the half is to run your first one
Social media the last couple of years went crazy with “stay in zone 2 to get fast” and people misunderstood what it means. To be fast, you have to also work on speed.
1:44:00 pb last Sunday in 3 days it will be exactly 1 year from my running journey start
I did a 1:49:37 half in April and just used two GU gels. One I brought with me and used in mile 6, and one I picked up at the 8.5 mile station. I have sinus issues on long runs, so I brought 5 hankies with me and dropped 4 of them in the trash cans along the way, so I was shedding weight as I went.
Just downloaded! I’ve done two marathons but never a half. Aiming for 1:30. Perfect timing Ben. My race is on Dec 1.
I’ve done a few 10k in 48 mins so im going to attempt my half marathon today
Good advice. I would add getting used to heat. Do not only train at cool hours during summer, train at the hottest ones too and you get used to it. Good idea to even wear a bit more clothes during some of the training if you the weather is nice and cool for weeks before and you might get hit by a heatwave in the event.
I am training for my half marathon thanks for the advice.
You're nearly at 200k, have you got a special video planned yet? Great to see your channel growing! 🥳
I went from a 5 hour marathon to a 1 hour marathon just by watching half this video.
