Comments:

Used this as a training run for Augusta 70.3. Goad was to just maintain a steady pace for the entire run and push towards the end. Started out at 8:15ish and felt good, so stayed there. Hips were a little sore the entire run. Stayed between 8:05-8:15 the entire run except for last mile that was 8:00. Course was also 0.1 miles long.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing
Post race
Warm down:

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.

After you have established the Ironman goal, the most important factor outside of the training is which race to choose? What is your best sort of course, hilly, rolling, flat?

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.
