Ok, obviously I had too much left in the tank... and should have ran a bit less conservative in the middle few miles... but eh whatever.. this is only my 2nd half marathon ever, but damn I love racing this distance!
Oh, and just so you know... I'll be running this again next year, and I will go 1:19 or under...
Dude, don't worry about leaving a little in the tank in a HM 4 weeks out from a marathon. That is the perfect hard training effort for someone ready to run under 3 hours. I'm impressed with your last two miles. That tells me you were pretty comfortable the whole way. This should be a great confidence builder!
ReplyDeleteThanks dude, I'll be a ton more confident after our 20 on Saturday!
