I Might Need To Adjust My Half Marathon Training

ByTim Nolte

So yesterday I happened to PR for a half marathon. The “problem” is that it was only a half marathon training run for a half I’m doing in July. My Endomondo training plan has my goal set for a 9:22min/mi pace come race day. Well I ended up blowing that time out of the water by finishing a training run half marathon with an 8:49min/mi pace. So I think my current goal is too conservative. It probably doesn’t help that I continually keep pushing myself beyond the training plan paces. I have a hard time managing my pace.

    Beginning The Mileage Increase

    ByTim Nolte
    The training schedule this week is starting to increase my weekly miles, so my mornings are going to begin getting earlier. Early mornings are actually hard for me but it’s the only way I can really make the time to run. Why would I choose to get up in the wee hours of the morning to run? This is part of #WhyIRun and my commitment to #Run4Water while hopefully inspiring others through my commitment. #HWI #RiverBankRun Give to clean water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

    Tackling A Winter Interval Run

    ByTim Nolte
    Trying to do interval training runs in the cold winter months can be challenging. Even with the right gear which I highly recommend, you have to be careful so you don’t end up taking a dive. Snow and ice can make speed a definite challenge when attempting faster interval runs. When it comes to winter running some dates you just need go with the flow. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus Help With Clean Water: https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr

    Tackling The Wind And The Rain

    ByTim Nolte
    This morning was a cold, wet, and windy run to meet up with the Hope Water team. I did enjoy running with some of the team for about a mile-and-a-half before parting and finishing out my last 6.5 miles. #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRGus The trek back home was quite a bit harder given that I was running into the wind instead of with the wind. It also didn’t help that I really had to kick things into higher gear to start to arrive by 8am to run with the team. I probably should have gotten up a little bit earlier to give myself an extra 15 minutes or so of running time. The important thing is that I made it there and finished the run….

    Getting Back Into Training After A Long Camping Weekend

    ByTim Nolte
    You know it’s going to be a hot and humid day when you feel it at 5am. Glad to be back out running after a week’s time of being out of it. I commend those that are able to keep up with their #training over vacations and while traveling. Looking forward to joining my running partner once again this week. #HWI #HessLakeRun #GRMarathon #Run4Water #SauconyRunChallenge

    Knocking Out Another Couple Miles, Sporting A New Headlamp

    ByTim Nolte
    Who’s going to help me bring clean water to another 132 people? $825 to go to reach my goal, with matching will hit another 132 people blessed with clean water. https://timn.me/2Kx7NEr #HWI #Run4Water #WhyIRun #GRMarathon Careful planning goes into the process of putting in a well, it’s not random and or without care. The teams from World Hope that drill the new wells are skilled at what they do. They carefully choose a location and methodically carry out the execution of drilling a well. The result is reliable well to serve the community. It was a nice cool morning for a quick run. I gave my new headlamp a short test run. What a difference going from a 160 lumens headlamp to a 12000 lumens…
