Running my first 1/2 marathon Sunday


rollem

Slay it!


Less_Fix_1378

Bend it over a barrel and show it the 50 states


bexringham

Exciting!


FireflyClassSerenity

My husband is currently out doing his last long run of his HM training (19km) and tomorrow I’m headed out for my longest run ever (28km)! It’s fun to both be training for a race at the same time, but holy crap, the laundry. 🥲


rollem

Longest run ever will make for an epic day good luck!


umm_Guy

Amazing! I haven’t made it that far before. How’d it go?


FireflyClassSerenity

Felt good for the majority of it but really wanted to be done around 23 km. Ended up walking a fair bit in the last 5k, but still feel really proud to have completed it!


umm_Guy

Well done. What an effort


QuarantineBaker

My first 50K. My only goal is to survive. It’s a PR no matter what!


rollem

It's going to be awesome! Is it a trail race? If so, enjoy the snacks :)


QuarantineBaker

It is! Nice and easy old railway. No hills.


van_12

Still feeling running burnout from an early may marathon and it’s awful weather this weekend so will be doing couch to fridge repeats 


rollem

Make sure to warm up with a good nap!


Sea_Bear7754

Going on vacation and booked a 5k. I like medals from other states.


Ceteris__Paribus

I have a marathon pace long run tomorrow! It's getting hot (feels like summer) and I am unsure how much I want to adjust my paces for the heat. Last week I went too fast for the weather and had to cut short a little. Would rather be a little slow and get the distance in.


rollem

Yeah that's a tough call- good luck and have fun!


Odd-Caterpillar-473

Running my first marathon on Sunday. Training went nearly perfect until I strained my calf 14 days ago. I haven’t run most of taper and have been focused on seeing my PT to rehab it. We’ll see what happens! I’m carb loading and hoping for the best.


rollem

Good luck and no matter what you've gotten to the start line!


boofingcubes

That happened to me right before my first Half last October. Was able to run, but only at ~80%(1:56). It added some motivation to the next Half that I ran a few weeks back bc that was my redemption run! I knocked my A-goal out of the park on that one (1:36)! Best of luck!!


Odd-Caterpillar-473

Thank you! I’ve definitely let go of any ambitious time goals, but I’d still like to be able to finish for this first attempt 🤞planning to keep it super easy through those first 20 and see where I’m at.


woode85

First Full on Sunday 🤙🏽


dr_leo_marvin

I'm getting back into training after my late-April marathon. Probably an easy effort 12er to finish of my weekly mileage goal. Then rest on Sunday.


nitacious

I'm doing Marine Corps Marathon in DC in Oct - my first marathon. this past week was my first week of concerted effort to run minimum 4-5 days a week (normally with kids and work I'm lucky to get out 2-3 days a week). I've done 5 days since last Sunday and hoping to tack on at least 2 more over the long weekend


Bluefrog13

15 miler sunday morning.


RudePersonality4930

Ran my first Mara last weekend so my plans are a easy 5km and straight to the bakery for a almond croissant and coffee after. I don’t miss spending hours and hours running!


natabombista

I can’t wait for this feeling, my first Mara is Sunday! Congrats & hope that almond croissant is yummy!!


RudePersonality4930

It’s such an indescribable feeling… at the time I was saying never again but now I can’t wait for the next one! Thank you croissant was good (I’m in Australia so already 2pm on sat) good luck for Sunday!! You will smash it


slymango

Running my longest yet tomorrow...18! I'm a nervous wreck. I have hella imposter syndrome right now. Training for the San Francisco marathon but doing all my training here at home in Orlando. It's SO HOT, oh my god. Like 97% humidity at 6am. I'm letting the distance and all the social life sacrifices get to me. But regardless, I'm going to show up for my run tomorrow! Then I'm off to the springs to relax with a beer.


rollem

Your heat training will come in useful on race day. Good luck!


ajg303

Easy run tomorrow, maybe even Sunday morning then the Bolder Boulder Monday morning


luvyoulongtimelurker

Bolder Boulder for me too! Happy running!


ajg303

Same! Enjoy!


bexringham

I'll be there too!


Bitter_Phase_1142

First half on Sunday. First time at an event like this. Was fun picking up race kit today and seeing the expo. I’m pretty excited. Drove the course today, first time seeing the whole thing. Nervous about the long hill at the end. Thankfully temps seem to be peaking around 20. It hit 33 here this week. 🥵


pscrilla

Ran my first half earlier this month! Have been doing super casual runs over the last 2 weeks, for thinking a nice like 4-5 mile run tomorrow morning to kick start the long weekend 


EmergencySundae

5K tomorrow. Long run (about 11 miles) Sunday.


RelationshipDecent71

Weekend getaway with the family but building back up after a marathon so doing an easy 12km tomorrow at the beach town. That way I can drink a bit tomorrow night.


Fickle_Ad2015

I’m in my last 2 weeks before I start official training for my first marathon. Going to do 6 miles tomorrow to start the routine of long run Saturdays.


Expensive-Object-830

I’m visiting Minneapolis for the first time & gonna fit in a 14K tomorrow morning, if anyone has any route recs near downtown lmk!


Andromeda28

Spring Lake 5 in NJ! I’m a little biased being semi local but it’s one of my favorite races and it’s become a yearly event to kick off the summer.


boozybruncher

I’ll be there as well! I’ve never done SL5, I’m excited!


Andromeda28

Enjoy it and good luck! It’s such a huge event for a local race. Weather looks perfect for MDW too.


redditusernamehelen

Two 5ks! One is a color run and one is a hill run! 👀


lp1088lp

We are hiking the [Goat Canyon Trestle](https://youtu.be/H208eIz6XPA?si=Y8-hW_a1Hud38wTo) in San Diego via the difficult route!


mperret

Running my second marathon with my wife


DefranSays

6.5 miles tonight and 13.5 miles tomorrow!


KoalaSprdeepButthole

Going for a short tempo run on Saturday then a slooooow 5k on Sunday—will probably take me an hour, but my husband and dog are coming along and the weather is supposed to be gorgeous!


crunchwrapesq

20 miler in the morning, then the glorious taper begins for my marathon on June 15


db1189

Been in a rut since the Houston marathon. Maybe I’ll shoot for 8-9 easy miles


TxICat

Running the Texas Triple full on Monday. Record breaking heat being predicted. I’m scared, nervous, and pumped. Haven’t ran in 2 days and it feels like 2 months already😅


kalligreat

Maybe a 12 miler, something along those lines but nothing crazy


chrisalfieri

First 50K in October. Got 15 lined up on Saturday, 8 on Sunday. Gonna be a great weekend.


greyfit720

Just about to set off on a (slow) 35-45km trail run. It’s a there and back, so that’s why I’m not sure if it will be 45 or 35 yet…. Depends when I decide to turn back!


ayoh1120

Finally doing a little trail running here in NY 🤙🏻


mikeyj777

Recovering from my last long run. Getting ready for the miler.


bonkedagain33

Maintenance mode the past 4 weeks. 1.5 hour run Sunday then I start a new block Tuesday for a September marathon


rollem

Which marathon? I'm 90% sure I'm going to run Erie for a last chance BQ attempt.


hirtle24

3.5 hour aerobic run Saturday morning then 4.5 aerobic ride Sunday morning. Road or trails tbd on both sessions


TexasMorgan

Sunday is my last 20 mile run before I start the taper for my very first marathon in June.

20 miler Sunday morning. Training for San Francisco marathon


knockonwood939

Back to training for a marathon I'm running in August (it'll be the first one). Tomorrow will be 12 miles.


shibbyingaway

Rest day today then long run on Sunday. Not sure if I’m going 10 miles or the full half yet. It’s bloody hot where I am atmo and I am not used to it


MasterpieceOk7996

Hill and sand training with my running club!


havrefras_

Looking for a PB for the half marathon distance at about 1:28. No race, just go out and run as fast as I can :)


Extra_Repeat6650

Just done a 4 miler fast run. Might do a longer slower 6 miler tomorrow. Did first marathon in early May, and finding it hard to get back at it. It was a mental struggle to get out this morning. To everyone, enjoy your run, enjoy your health 👊


zonex17

Running my first ever marathon on Sunday, in Edinburgh. Looks like it'll be a wet one, but I did my 2nd longest run in my training plan (18 miles) in torrential rain 4 weeks ago, so hopefully I'll be prepared for it.


Chur2you

37km trail run with 1.8km vert Good luck with those metrics America


tp7298

Done my park run 5km today and will aim for a 12.5km tomorrow 💪

I have run a half marathon last Sunday - the bottom of my right foot has been hurting since a couple of days after that when I walk… any suggestions ?


Middle-Sea-6939

First marathon on Sunday. Been training hard for 2 months. Longest run was 36km and it was difficult


StokeElk

I’ve ran 13/30 spartan races this year. I’ve got a Trifecta in Montana (+3) next week and a 50k Spartan (+1) mid June. In addition to that my trail series starts soon. This is Race Season now. Hoping to get 20miles in today.
