Heck yeah! So cool JJ B! You rock! FANTASTIC COACHING BRAD! - I remember when you were talking on the podcast about running a mile a day. AND HERE YOU ARE!!! Amazing!
JJ, congrats on the sub 5. Brad, my 22 year old daughter and I (age 55) also ran our first marathon on Sunday at Donna. My goal was sub 5:30 and I got 5:29:41 (bib 281). Cool to see the footage again. Funny how lonely the race seemed during the second loop after all the 1/2 marathoners finished and most of residents went inside when it started to rain (I don’t blame them). The rain and wind were brutal at the end but you were correct, we were lucky for most of the race, and at least it wasn’t too cold. Great commentary and video!
Oh yeah!! Congrats. We noticed the same thing on the second loop. Good thing we hooked up with the pace group and had a few people with us or we would have felt lost. Haha. Best of luck in the future!
Thanks so much John! Everyone can do it! Not everyone is willing to put in the work! You come out a different man for sure! Let me know if you ever need a hand! This community is strong and supportive!!
Wow, thank you! I appreciate it. I’m really trying to work on my “story telling” if you know what I mean. Next month I take on the grand canyons with a few people who have never gone R2R2R!
This is awesome and inspiring! I’m a beginner here, what’s your suggestion should I train simply based on zone 2 heart rate or to follow training plan like garmin coach or Runna app where it combines it with interval/speed training? Thanks
Aways good to have a plan. An athletes volume and ability will determine the about of speed/tempo work I have my athletes do. Often times, beginners just need to build consistentcy and volume safely throughout the training with some race pace and tempo efforts in. IMO unless unless you can run, not jog, the entire race, track work is more of a risk to injury than a reward.
This is awesome! I followed his journey on Instagram. I wish I had people in my life to help me more. I’m out there doing it on my own! Great job to both of you!!
Thanks for all the help buddy! Couldn’t have done it without you.
We make a great team!
