  • On my last day in Florida, I go searching for pirates and then give my race recap of the Clearwater Running Festival Half Marathon 2022.
    My apologies for the horrible audio at the end. I think the Insta360 One X2 is just miserable when it comes to audio performance. I'll be making sure the captions are set up for this video, so please feel free to turn those on for those difficult-to-hear portions
    0:00 pirate hunt
    1:22 cold temps and expectations
    3:01 the first few miles
    4:31 not a chatty race
    5:30 aid stations
    6:17 mile splits and pacing
    9:43 two minutes off of PR
    10:01 post race party
    10:36 endorphin pro 2
    Thanks for watching! Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  2 года назад +3

      I cover it very briefly at the end of the video. I think the rigidity of the carbon and the firmness of the foam (compared to the Endo Speed) make it ideally suited for the half marathon. Some can run a full marathon in it, but I think it would be too firm for me while I also would be unable to access the shoes full potential at my marathon effort

    I wish I could've finished the race but the tendonitis flared up at the end of mile 3. I was hoping to catch you at the end to hear some of your thoughts but this is some great form to carry into Tokyo. I signed up for my first marathon in Indy in the fall but right now it's going to require a lot of rehab and recovery before i can step out again. Said this before but that was a great freakin effort for your half. Maybe find you at a start line again in the future. As for now, good luck training for Tokyo. Cheers!

    This is probably a dumb question, but do you take rest days from running? I'm just starting this year, been lifting weights for 10 years and was the typical "F cardio" guy.
    I mention that because I get the same kind of soreness the next day as when I started lifting, or when I take a long break and get out of the rythm. And that soreness requires rest days 😅 and here you are out on a long run the day before a race.

    • @kofuzi
      @kofuzi  2 года назад +1

      when it's warmer, I like to use the bike once a week for my rest days. for this race, I was using it more as a workout for an upcoming marathon than I was using it as a test of fitness. going on a long run the day before a half marathon isn't an ideal taper, but I wasn't planning on a taper for this event.

    Not good memories of that race. I did the 50k in Clearwater 2018 and it was really cold, winds gusting up to 30mph, rain the whole day and 6 bridge crossings. There was no race support or photography on the course and all the port-a-potties had blown over. Tons of people wore black garbage bags the whole way for many races. I'll probably never go back.
