2 hour half marathon training continues grinding through the end of summer. The cool temps of the weeks before are a thing of the past. The heat cranked up this block. In these two weeks, I had the best and worst Parkruns of the summer. Also, two long runs, a couple of runs on the treadmill and a run with the twins.

2 hour half marathon training continues with some hot and humid runs in August. Bouncing back and feeling great after a training run at the BRB Half Marathon. But after a couple hard workouts and some hot and humid conditions, my weekend Parkrun did not go well. To make matters worse, after reviewing the footage, I witnessed the death of my Nike Alphaflys as one of the airpods broke. I listened...
BRB Back Roads Bound Half Marathon - 2 hour half marathon training
Просмотров 47Месяц назад
2 hour half marathon training continues with the Back Roads Bound Half Marathon in White Lake Michigan. I used this race as a "tune up" to gauge my fitness, try some new gels and have some water supplied to me on a long run. I didn't realize until the night before that the back roads were actually dirt roads. But luckily, the dirt was pretty packed down so I didn't have to worry too much about ...

2 hour half marathon training continues through the dog days of summer. This vlog highlights 2 weeks of training, including hill repeats long runs and easy runs with pacers. I ran about 25 miles with the New Balance SC Trainer V3. I tried everything but couldn't get over pain in the arch and the forefoot. I'll be sending them back unfortunately. I wonder if the heat is affecting even my easy ru...

A new 5K PB! 2 hour half marathon training
Просмотров 1282 месяца назад
2 hour half marathon training continues... This was my cut back week after racking up two 30 mile weeks. I returned to where it all started for me. 2 years ago, I entered my first 5K race to see if I would like it. At the time, I could just confidently run 5k. After being influenced by some co-workers, I decided I would give a race a try. After clocking a 27:16, I got hooked! It propelled me me...
A look back at the summer's Parkruns

Taking a look back at this summer's Parkruns. I've completed 11 Parkruns in Livonia, MI. Since the change to the summer course, I have not been able to find a groove, pacing 2 or more minutes slower than my PB. Along the way, some people have popped into my vids. I've been getting back into some higher mileage (for me) weeks. I'll be starting my weekly training vlog as the build to the goal rac...
Hill Reps - 2 hour Half Marathon Training

Sharing a couple examples of my favorite workout: Hill Repeats! I tackled the 5% grade over 360m at about 5K pace. The first workout I managed 6 reps in the heat. The second workout I managed a couple more. The Hill Reps allow me to put in the effort, but help to reduce the pounding on my ankle. 2 hour half marathon training continues...

10K Surprise PB at the 46th Annual Berkley Days Festival of Races 10K

My summer training continues with a 10K fitness check race at the 46th Annual Berkley Days Festival of Races. My goal was to start the first mile at about 9min/mile pace then ease into 8:40s the rest of the way. I'm not sure if it was the adrenaline or something else, but I found myself at 8:30 pace about half a mile into it. Despite my efforts to slow down, I ticked off some 8:23s for miles 4 ...

Sub 2 hour Half Marathon Attempt: Owens Corning Half Marathon in Toledo, OH

Putting it all on the line for Owens Corning Half Marathon in Toledo, OH as part of the Glass City Marathon Weekend. I've been working towards breaking 2 hours for about 18 months. After setbacks due to injury, mainly posterior tibial tendonitis, I was finally able to take the start line for a legitimate shot. My strategy was to start out slower, as I often am too fast coming out of the gate, t...

2023 Detroit Turkey Trot. Can I survive the Drumstick Double?!
Great effort Steve, you’ve put the work in - one last push before the taper. I’m running the full in Toronto on same day as your half. I had the same goal as you last May (Vancouver half) and I remember clearly a lot of my nerves building before raceweek as it never felt ‘in the bag’, but that’s what I love about running & pushing my fitness - what a privilege we have to do this - kick hard & stick to your plan my friend!! We’re cheering for you. All the best, Rob T.
Thanks so much. I'm going to do the TO Waterfront in the next couple years.
@@stevemckellar4978 it’s a well run event, I’m sure you’ll love it. I’m in London , Ont so Detroit is on my bucket list for sure - maybe our races will line up down the road in coming years - cheers!
Lake Ontario run… beautiful!
Thanks for sharing your journey! Inspiring everyone to run! “Sitting is the new smoking”…
When i first started parkrun. A guy used to beat me in his jeans a nd work boots. Took me months to be able to beat him 😂😂
Boom! Great story. Success is success! Small wins to big ones!
Great Job. I’m going to attempt my first sub 2 hour half marathon in Hartford Connecticut in 5 weeks
Best of luck to you! Attempt #3 for me will be in Detroit in a 5 weeks.
Solid run! Negative split on a tough course. I like the idea of a dirt road race. Soft surface and shady.
Thanks for watching Aaron!
Great running fella. Looked nice and controlled 👌
Thanks 👍 It didn't feel so at the time, but after watching the video, it was a nice and consistent stride the whole way!
8 miles and still talking at the end - win every time! lol A lot of work being put in. Great to see!
Thanks for watching. Summer training is tough.
You using a drone? ;) lol Great job again! Inspiring runners and more importantly the kids! Keep it up!
Thanks brother! Working hard. No spying from me.
good running man!
Thanks!
Best way to start a saturday morning 👌
Best running partner ever! Great seeing the process! Great PB too! Enjoy winning vs the kids while ya can! lol
I give them 5 years before they beat me.
Love the cheer squads! Volunteers make these events! Great result - a lot of work goes into it! Proud moments! Thanks for documenting and providing insight!
Glad you enjoyed it! Those kids were great.
Amazing work! Hopefully the ankle was still feeling good after the run.
Thank you! I was so excited, I couldn't feel anything!
Loved this video!
If you don't mind me asking, what is your 10k pb right now?
Subscribe and watch my next video! 😉 As of this video, it is 54:48.
@@stevemckellar4978 that's a solid 10k pb, looking forward to the next video! I've been subscribed for a bit, I'm with you on this journey!
Yes! Yes! Let's GO! Thanks for your support.
Amazing effort! Great to see the progress! You got this! As well - one of the best vids!
Thanks so much! The results from the months of training are starting to show. Stay tuned for more PB attempts!
Brutal conditions brother, great PB, new PB next race incoming!
The conditions were not ideal, but not too bad. Maybe my week of heat training paid off. I'm looking forward to breaking 2 later this year!
Props to you doing a half marathon! PR Halfs are almost always tough.
Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on the PB though. Sub 2 incoming. 💪 You gave it everything 👌
Thanks! I keep telling myself, you always have to be happy with a PB.
Cool video! Hopefully you met your goal! I’m from south/central OH and currently training for a 2hr half marathon myself.
Good luck with your training. Thanks for watching.
What an awsome training buddy 👌
She'll be faster than me in a year!
@stevemckellar4978 no doubt 👍 Think it's brilliant wanting to do it with you 👌
Good luck on the Half!
Thanks so much!
Amazing to see the progression! Keep grinding!
Thanks!!
Amazing job Steve! First held in 1894, it is the oldest long distance road race in North America… had no clue! Crazy!
Thanks for watching! I was glad to be a part of the 130th edition.
Im sure you will smash the race 👌 Hope you have a good one
Good luck this weekend! I'm aiming for a similar time.
Thanks, you too!
I too will be running a half marathon next month on my birthday (I'll be 42), and it'll be my first one. Want to get as close to 2hrs as possible, but I'm looking at 2.10 maybe. Good work mate, let us both keep up the good work
Best of luck!
Are you doing the around the Bay? It's 34K this year! It'll be my first race!
Good luck! Yes, I will be running it. I'm excited.
Way to get the work done! Best of luck accomplishing your sub 2 hr half goal 🤙🤙🤙
I appreciate that. I'm feeling good!
Keep pushing Brother 🤝 greetings from Germany
Thanks for watching!!
thanks for filming this, helpful for a first timer!
Glad it was helpful! I'll be running it again with my gopro this year!
Hey great video! There's just a few moments in the video where you talk and the background music is a tad loud. I would suggest lowering the music when you start talking. Keep up the amazing work!
I appreciate the feedback. Sound quality is definitely something I need to improve. Thanks for watching.
Congratulations!! Way to persevere!!
Thank you!! That was a hard race.
Good luck on your training.
Thank you!
💪💪
Props to you for staying dedicated through the cold. I am also striving to complete my first half marathon sub 2. Used running to quit smoking cigarettes and haven’t looked back. Been a long journey getting my lungs back but I am finally under 9:00 miles!!
That's awesome!
Some more great training 👌
Thanks for watching buddy!
I clocked 1h56m on the 2nd of Dec last year and let me tel ya... at 3km I didn't think i could do it. The pace felt rough and I knew I had to run a little faster at every kilometer split. And in my darkest hour I remembered a line that someone from the running channel said: "Run the mile you are in" Just keep your eyes on the horizon and focus on hitting your next split but don't get too greedy. banking a few seconds or so here and there is fine but don't over cook it and blow up. Nothing feels better than putting in the work and hitting your goal. its now 2 months or so later and I am building to a 1h38m half marathon on Feb 25. It is a bit of an aggressive goal but i reached 1h56m without proper training. So i have worked on a proper 12 week training block and I'm doing well so far. Only time will tel
That's a huge improvement you're going for. Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
What's your current PB in half?
2:02:12 at Ottawa May 2023. Check out my race video!
Yes! Thanks! Yasso's are great 👍
A difference in weather between the runs 🙈
Great job Steve! Inspiring to see you out on vacation and fitting in runs before storms! Looking great! Especially in those shoes!
Thanks 👍
Looks bloody cold 🥶
Congratulations, well done!
Great job. Looks like a great place for a race 👌
I never run with music, i like to hear myself dying 😂😂
Respect!
Go get it young fella!!!
