  • 2h 03m 53s
  • 21.1 kms
  • 05m 52s  min/km
Comments:

First 10km was at 11km//h.
Left foot started to hurt badly at 8km and all the little hills after pretty much killed it.
Last 3km could hardly step on that foot. All swollen.

I really slowdown on the hills, partially because of the foot but also lack of hill training. Many were passing me on the ups.
What would you do differently?:

Solve my neuroma problem. Need to Improve orthotics.
Post race
Warm down:

5min easy run

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Neuroma pain 9/10 :-(
Lack of hill and distance training.

Event comments:

Marking for distance of HM and for 5km very confusing at times, not clear which one was for what distance.

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.
