Comments:

My new Garmin (Fenix 2) went nuts after about 6K - put me at 20mph and showed that I ran out into the resevoir then ran along the beach. Totally off, never seen a garmin screw up so bad. Had to hard reset it (try holding the light button for 25 seconds while running full speed) and then started a new run activity at the 10km mark.

Warm down:

Walked it off - remembered to bring 10$ for the post race massage. Seemed to help.


What limited your ability to perform faster:

Was sick as a dog coughing etc for the last week so no running at all until Sat (8km recovery). In the middle of the Pfitz 70/18 plan. So can't complain about the results.


Event comments:

This is my benchmark race - first HM I did 6 years ago. Placed somewhere around 550 - have slowly moved down to 300 then 100 then 50 and now 25. Will never win but might creep up a little bit further... :)

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.

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.
