How I Ran a Sub 80 Min Half Marathon (In 10 Weeks)

✅ Let me give you 30 ways in 30 days to run faster for longer without training more:

After 4 years with little to no training, I signed up for my first half marathon to get my first official time on the distance. The problem? I only have 10 weeks to train for it.

Excellent personal story. It's different, but the same. At 72, i started quietly training for the SanDiego marathon on June 1. Neighbors and family, boy never te anyone who doesn't support you what your plans are. My last marathon was 2000. 25 year gap. But following your advice i feel great and my goal is to finish healthy. Thanks a million. When i run i will be 73

Gonna guess the 10 year aerobic base you've built contributed a lot more than whatever special sauce you did in the 10 week build.

12:21 Sorry mate, but I have to correct you on this one. You are not failing your daughter by not racing and even less by not going sub 1h20m. Probably she couldn’t care less about your times. Just being there for her as a dad (as you are already seem to be doing) is all she needs.
You have been an elite, so I can understand where you come from. Results and competition used to be everything for you. And rightly so. However, now you are in another phase of your live. I think your goal should now shift to your physical and mental health. Try to enjoy the process and enjoy the results when they present themselves, but don’t focus on them.
By the way, I’m really enjoying you sharing all your experience and knowledge with us. Also you present it in a very nice format. So thank you for that!

Interestingly enough, I'm training for a half marathon in October to do it in 1:40:00 to 1:45:00. And my lifetime target is to go sub 1:20:00.

If you run a long race with a flu you can screw up your heart. My dad was a doctor and had a couple of death cases of young hockey players with heart failures after they carried on training with a fever, a couple of scars on their hearts otherwise they were completely healthy - except for being dead (I am from Kladno, a hockey town, google Jaromir Jagr :-) ). Do not risk if you are not sure what is wrong, especially not for the likes like the guy above. Yo do not run to live you live to run and there is a halfmarathon every weekend from Spring to Autumn. Take a week rest. You can race two weeks later (unless you go for the likes - then you have to run, because ... because .. eh I trained 13 weeks to run a sub 1:20 would somehow sound worse ?? )

Hey man, great video as always. Really nice story you've shared!
But some things are missing here…
1-That playlist looks fire, you should share
2-It would be amazing if you could breakdown precisely what and how you eat before race day
3-please also share some of those training sessions/templates

All and all, your channel rocks!

Your videos are the best! I am binge watching your content and learning a lot, especially on champion’s mindset!! Best regards from a runner in Holte 🇩🇰

Great vid! It is a balancing act, well done on an epic time.

[JustBrowsing]

Great video. Congrats on what I'd consider a successful race, all things considered! Clearly, all those previous years of training so much has not completely worn off. I can run a single kilometer in that pace I believe 😅

9:45 If you get tested in a lab (stress test), then actually you can calculate the exact amount of carbs you would need during your HM.

Not really applicable to most of us, only someome who was a pro can get sub 1.20 in 10 weeks

[marllansilva]

Fala, cara. Você tem algum plano de treinamento ? Sou brasileiro e vou correr meus primeiros 21km no final do ano.
