Hello All,
I am in the process of training for a Half Marathon on October 16th of this year (2016). My goal is to get under 1 hour and 30 minutes. I know this is a huge milestone and I treat it as such. To give you more statistics about my build and workload, I am 6'1" tall and weigh 150 lbs, very lean. I have a history of endurance sports at my age (20), as I swam competitively for 14 years. As I aged up, I gained a new appreciation for Triathlons and have decided to train for them full time. In terms of training, I usually train around 15 hours a week because of school. These training sessions are not necessarily only focused on running, as I am training for a few triathlons.
I have been improving in my running very rapidly. To give an idea of my current stamina level, here are my best training sessions stats.
5K (during a training run) - 19:12
10K (during a training run) - 40:36
Best 5x1 mile repeat set with 1 minute rest between repeats, as follows: 6:31,6:25, 6:12, 6:21, 5:57
Longest Leisure Run - 12 miles at a 7:30 pace
Tempo Run - 8 miles at a 7:00 pace
Thanks for your comments and insight! Happy Training!
