Sub 1:20, you got this! This sounds like a good plan. Yes, there's a fine line where you train too much especially if you have a full-time job and family to care for. I have a tune-up half marathon coming up in two weeks. I would be happy if I run anywhere near 1:25
Thank you! Hoping to get it! And I think you’ve got the 1:25. Looking at your training, your HR is in a good place compared to your pace. Good luck in your tune up race!
I wish I was running it this year. I ran last year and it was awesome. The last two miles are brutal! It’s one massive hill on Hospital drive and then way smaller rolling hills after that
Glad to hear it’s a good race! And those hills do make me nervous but that’s why I’m preparing for race to maybe not be a PR. Doesn’t mean I still can’t try though! Thanks for the insight into the end of the race!
@@joshuaxruns of course! Also if you’re looking for a shake out run route there is the canal path which is a 3 mile loop around the city with about a mile of the race course or there is gravel trails by the Friends of the Rappahannock that lead back to a quarry
1:24:52. But this is a weird one because it was the fall after my dad passed away and I wasn’t seriously training for the half. I maybe had 4 solid weeks of training leading up to the race. I went into it with no goals and just happened to lock in with a friend running sub 1:25. Hoping with 12 solid weeks I see better results.
