Great job!

Going under two hours sounds like it shouldn't be that hard but for those of us who are not genetically gifted it definitely takes some work. You will have no problem getting there next time.

thanks guys. I think I'll shoot for the SF 1/2 on 3/29/15

~850' of vert in 3 seperate climbs :scared:, and the golden gate out-n-back

same goal [because I'm stubborn]

2:00:00 \:D

gives me 6 months

what I'll try different this time is to be more consistent with a Long-slow-run of ~2 hour duration as this time my legs failed me basically around mile 10. Supposedly training the duration [2h] is really useful for not having this happen again. Who knows /open for thoughts.

Basically I held my goal pace through mile 9 [2h 1/2 pace, 9:09 miles], at miles 10-13 I struggled mightily [held 10:30 miles], so missed by ~5 mins.

After the race, it was hard to walk, I had to grab a handrail to descend a tiny set of 4 stairs lolol

since I'm in the sharing mood: I would be completely stoked if I ever got as 'fast' as say a 1:45 1/2, or even just every mile split starting with an '8' \:D

Again, fantastic job for your first go at the distance.


Don't feel bad about not hitting your goal...you fell victim to what just about every rookie does: the wall. Its pretty much just your body not knowing what do with itself once it got past what you'd trained it to do. Your plan of more long runs is def the answer. Run 14-15 miles a handful of times in training and you'll be able to cruise through those last few miles in the race.

FYI, I shaved almost 10 minutes off my first 1/2 in my second attempt and went from not being able to walk after to feeling fantastic in 2 months just by increasing volume.

Good job man. Although we have a few guys here running crazy distances, a 1/2 marathon is no joke.

I regularly run 7-8 miles, I rarely find it easy.
