Master  2264    Sunbury, Pennsylvania |  Subject: How to Take 44:50 off your Half-Marathon Time in Seven Easy StepsStep one - stop training a month before your first half marathon. Step two - tip the scale at over 287. Step three - run/walk/shuffle your way to a 3:58:37 first HM Step four - lose 29 pounds Step five - train like you actually want to run Step six - show up ready. Step seven - 84 days later, run a hillier course, and log a 3:13:47. I know there are plenty for whom a 3:13:47 is a subpar MARATHON, but man, I feel like the poster boy for "progress happens if you train," even for the very slow. (With chip timing I would have hit that magic 45minute-drop mark, since the walk to the start line was at least 20 seconds.) |

Oh- you get to use your chip times. Hear hear on the bold. And there were no chips. It was a mass start with manual logged time at the chute. Grnfsh - 2012-03-31 7:52 PM Way to go! whats your next goal? Well, I have several races this year, but for goals, I'd say three right now: 1 - take a similar amount of time off my return visit to Annapolis TriRock Sprint. It was painfully slow the first time around, so a 45 minute drop is actually possible there too. 2 - survive and finish within the official cutoff time: -Eagleman June 10. 3 - Break 2:45 for a Half-marathon this September at the Bird-in-Hand half. Completing it, I will earn the first ever "Road Apple Award." I saw one today at Garden Spot Village. They didn't go metaphorical here. They actually attached real horse manure to a board. And I want one of those boards. |

Member 522 Toronto-ish | Subject: RE: How to Take 44:50 off your Half-Marathon Time in Seven Easy Steps Some folks like to come on BT and talk about their sub-3 marathon (and good on them for the ability) but this is the kind of thread that keeps me coming back here. We are beginners. We are the ones who sometimes started with non-traditional shapes/sizes/abilities, and these are the success stories that warm my heart. Super congratulations on your improvement. Rinse, lather and repeat and who knows where you may get to, but you're already a winner. |
