Cheers Mark. Yes, absolutely the principles do apply to other goal times. You did really well in your first (I think it was your first?) half marathon which you posted the other month. Obviously you have the ultra coming up, but if you do another half soon I reckon you'd smash it!
I remember my first sub 1:30 HM. Bridlington 2001. It came off the back of increasing mileage and varying the pace of my runs. Dawn's was at Bournemouth so we obviously like sea air courses!
Excellent. Yes, do keep me posted on when you achieve it. 1h 35m is a good PB for the half marathon and you are more than capable of smashing the 1h 30m time. Best of luck my friend
Thanks very much for the kind words. I might make a video about a sub 3:30 marathon. Many of the tips from this video will apply, but there would be some extra tips needed to help with the strategy during the race including nutrition, pacing etc Thanks!
It depends on what time you want to get, your training, race day nutrition etc. If you are happy with a 1h 55m finish but you want to get faster perhaps try training more and mixing up the training runs e.g., hill sprints, more elevation, intervals, tempo runs
I ran a hilly 10k yesterday in a pb of 43:39 (including having to stop 80 metres from the end to puke 😂). Running a sub 130 half seems like witchcraft 😂
Well done on the 10k PB mate. That's impressive considering hills, not ideal conditions at all. Hope the feeling of wanting to puke wasn't too intense, lol!
