Comments:

Right hamstring cramped at the end. I pulled my groin the last month of training so my training was not that great at the end and I fatigues at the end of the race.
What would you do differently?:

I would have paced myself off better so I don't fall apart at the end. My HR was in the 180s right away and pace in the low 7 mins. I want to start off in the 150s about 8 min pace for 1st 8 miles then increase by 10 bpm every 2 miles until end.
Post race
Warm down:

Walk, stretched and rolled.

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training the last month due to groin injury and poor pacing at the beginning of the race.

Steady is our walk. Ignoring the pain that is radiating from my feet, I continue to place one foot in front of the other. Again I wonder, “Why am I doing this?”

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.

This program should be used for an athlete whose goal is to run a marathon in the 1:30-2:30 range and has a good running base in the past 8-12 weeks.

I will assume you have not run consistently more than 6 miles and have never completed a half-marathon. I believe running your first half-marathon is a big task which requires dedication and work.

I’m a 240lb man, and I run relatively long distances. How would you recommend training for marathon and IM distances as heavy as I am?

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
