    Awesome Race! I think Jonah's preparation, approach, pacing and realistic goals were key to his success. I have no doubt a sub 1:55 HM is not far off.

    I’ve run the Malaga half marathon every year since 2015 (apart from pandemic year) but the specific half in March, rather than the December combined. It’s amazing how flat it is, though the course here seems quite different. It’s so nice to be able to run in warm weather, without the excessive heat later in the year. Well done all.

If gave us an incredible boost and excitement thinking that our role model almost ahaha was running with us at least for the first half! So you had around you 19 people from the running channel community 😍 we didn’t know there was the shakeout run before so we couldn’t join but it was amazing to have a glimpse of Sara at the starting line! Thanks for your amazing videos!

    Very good result for a first HM runner

  • @velogoo
    @velogoo 18 дней назад +13

    I also have a goal of 2 hours for the HM. My problem is that while my 5k times are good (around 19mins) my endurance is terrible and my legs start screaming after about 15k. I guess the answer is I need to do lots more longer slower runs!

    • @jkc877
      @jkc877 18 дней назад +6

      Yep the answer is longer easy runs. I'm surprised that you can't get sub-2 with a 19 minute 5K (which is a very very good time). Typically people who can run that can run 1:45 no problem. You'll get there!

    • @billystronk4251
      @billystronk4251 18 дней назад +4

      A 19 min 5k is pretty close to a sub 40 10k which is about the same as a sub 1:30 HM. If you put the training miles in you'll have no problem at all running a sub 1:45 HM within a couple months.

    • @flolin8766
      @flolin8766 15 дней назад

      With this 5k time it will not take much to achieve a sub 90 min half Marathon. I suggest that you do a longer run like 20k, but do 15k easy and then the last 5k in race pace. So your body learns to run fast on low energy levels. Also always incoporate fueling into your runs and after.

    • @bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694
      @bendigeidfranemmanueljones5694 13 дней назад

    Clearly I'm up for giving it a try but at the moment I'm being harangued to enter my first full marathon, which has never made the bucket list. A half has always just fine the idea of running for 4-5 hours hasn't been exciting this old boy.
