Okay posting consistently starts NOW! I got a new vlog camera and I have been filming some vlogs which I am stoked to edit! Let me know if there are any videos you would specifically like to see from me! :) thanks again for all the support! Ily❤️
Wow, only 20 days of training & you ran a 2:02....very impressive! I am looking to run my 1st ever half marathon in April. Just haven't signed up yet lol. Really cool video!
Thanks so much! There is no way I would have been able to do this myself, the adrenaline of everyone running with you and the people cheering makes it so fun! Omg that is so exciting! It’s such a great accomplishment and I am sure you will do great!
@@JoeBucks if you need a sign here it is! It is so exciting to sign up for a race and then have something to look forward to and train for! Definitely sign up 😊😊
Omg you crushed it Jenna! Congrats on your first half marathon! :) you're actually one of the few people who have inspired me to start spinning on Peloton (got a spin bike recently)
Omg thank you so much Stephanie!!! That is so good to Hear! I have been slacking on the bike the last couple weeks, but this message just got me so inspired to start getting in a routine again. Aw this made my day 😊
omg this is so cool! i'm trying to psyche myself up to do the oak bay 10k this year so i've been watching lots of running content, i clicked on this video not even knowing you were in victoria but recognized thetis right away! this was so motivating, congrats you totally crushed it!!
No way!! Aw that’s so cool!!! You totally should sign up! It was so much fun and I am also trying to psyche myself up to sign up for another one. Deciding between a 10k or a longer one! Oak Bay one would be super nice!! Such a small world, And thank you so much!! ☺️I hope sign up and crush it! It’s such a great accomplishment 😊
Greetings from Dorset, UK. A terrific achievement, congratulations... a PB👍 until your 2nd one. 😁 I've run lots of races but the water - drinking "ah, I'm drowning!" feeling is still a problem. Best solution is a bottle with the built in straw, that works pretty well. Gels? I'm not a fan, I don't use them. But what do I know? If I want some energy I'll have something I enjoy. Sweets, a bar of something... but stuff that doesn't melt or is too sticky. I'll worry about protein / vitamins before and after a race. Of course - as 99% of us do on our runs, particularly the first - going out too fast is a' thing'. You still managed a terrific performance, well done.
You explained the water drinking problem perfectly 😂 that’s so true the only problem is I don’t know if I would like to carry my own water bottle. I guess if I train with one of those waist band water bottle holders, I would get used to it eventually! Yeah I am not sure how I feel about the gels. I like them for hiking, but in the middle of a run it was not a fun thing to try and eat haha a treat instead is a great idea! Thanks so much for the comment and advice! 😊 I can’t wait to sign up for another one! Goodluck to you if you have any races coming up! 👟
I had the same drinking-problem... for the last few races I carried a long piece of a drinking straw with me (large diameter and not the whole straw). it weights nearly nothing, you can put it under the bracelet of your watch or in your pocket. For me it's much easier to drink with this solution & I don't have to carry bottles with me. Maybe it works for you, too 🙂 (sorry for the bad englisch)
Hey Jena! Congrats on your first half marathon!! You crushed it. Next time, try eating your gel and taking a sip of water with it. I find it much easier to take them that way. Hope that helps! Keep at it :)
If you ever run another Half marathon or longer, would definitely recommend trying a few different energy gels. I really like eating chews instead during training, but find them challenging to eat during a harder effort like a race. For races, Maurten Gel 100 is by far the best I've tried. It has no flavour, and is like a hydrophobic type gel, where it doesn't stick to your mouth at all, so you can barley tell its in your mouth basically, makes them really easy to consume during a harder effort in comparison to other brands
thank you so much for the advice!! I will definitely have to try some others! It was my first time trying them and probably a dumb idea try it during a race lol. Definitely noting this down :)
New to running more of a rock climber but signed up for a 4mile race here in nyc 40 days out starting small and goal is to do a full marathon but step by step. I do ruck races times to times but idk feel like it’s different a bit and never train for ruck races now im serious about training for running but your time is amazing its so crazy congrats keep it up
Thank you so much for the support and for the comment! :) Goodluck training for your marathon! I am sure it will go great, was such a fun experience and bucket list thing to do!
Nice job for your first Half-marathon and considering your training was interrupted. With how far back from the start you were maybe you even got under 2 hours or very close with your chip time. You’ll break 2 hours next time and pull smash it if you do a proper training plan!
Thank you!!! yes honestly surprised that it went that well considering how training went! I am excited to actually train properly and try again this year! :) Thanks for the support!
Hey Thanks so much for the comment! I got the necklace from a company in texas called "marrah cotta" its their shroomy necklace or something like that hahaa
