10 minute pace is huge, bro!
Thank you!
I honestly felt like I was running my slowest the ENTIRE time.
It was fuckin brutal.
Seriously?
Tomorrow Iām getting right back after it again lol
Donāt you know me at all lolololol
Nice!!!
Have you done any research into the particular obstacles that will be at the race? Or are you just going to wing it lol
I wish I was able to run today. I suddenly got sick yeastrrday afternoon and have been exhausted. We will see how im doing tomorrow. Wish i also had the time to go out and do a 1/2 marathon. Just no time in the day to dedicate 2 hours towards a run.i only have an hour a day that i can be out.
There is something i do that actually might help.
After my runs i take a warm shower, wash and all that. Afterwards I slowly cool the water down til it is completely cold. Think of it in terms of reverse cooking a lobster. As opposed to slowly turning it up, we slowly turn it down. Iām at a point now where im standing in freezing cold water for 10mins at a time breathing completely normal and focused.
It may prove beneficial.
Did you end up eating an entire sleeve of Oreos again
Not this time!
Iām from Minnesota.
Iām all about the ice swimming!!! But what I meant is by subjecting yourself to cold regularly. Having encounters with cold water will no longer be such a shock to your system. Know what I mean?
Yeah, how many professional athletes do you see jumping in the sauna after training? None.
I definitely get that, especially if you make the mistake of allowing yourself to keep your heart rate up at that level which in turn might have you at a pace that will cause you to burn out before the finish line
You make my heart race
Thatās pretty solid man!
Do you wear a heart rate monitor at all? Are they beneficial? Iāve been having to learn my heart rate zones based soley off feel, pace and body temp
Having never had a monitor of any kind I can tell you the āfeel good intutionā is an amazing thing to have. For example, I know the exact mile I will feel sluggish and need to push thru. Itās weird but also pretty neat tbh.
What time are you shooting for on the half marathon?
You should shoot for under 2 hours! Thats a worthy goal!
Iām working my way there.
Ideally I would like to run a half in like an hour and a half but I am FAR from that right now. I just have to keep getting after jt day after day
Love your attitude brother. Seriously
Hour and a half? Thatās a crazy goal. Achievable, maybe. My PR on 13.1 is 1:51
And here comes my competitive side!! Lol.
Jokes aside, how destroyed weāre you after that? Because that is an incredible pace.
