My PR is 1:56, took me years of similar training that you describe to get there though, and weirdly I could do under 2 hours unofficially on training runs but not at events, and the one I actually did in 1:56 was one of the hilliest I’ve done, but had a steep downhill of about 1km at the end. And as someone else mentioned, thanks for putting stuff in metric !

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

Isn’t that crazy how that happens? 😂 I coach an athlete who is the same way: his 5 fastest half marathons are all either workouts or in a marathon.

[@petervandegroenendaal9033]

Good video! Question: even splits area a bad idea, but what are good splits? Like, the exact speeds (per km)

[@cars92dtb]

PR in a race is 1:28:51 but clocked 2:59:30 for the marathon. Work to do, got the goal half marathon in 10 days. Unfortunately have a chest infection that’s ruined me in the buildup! 😢 I hit 66 miles a week in the peak training. When I crossed the sub2 for the half, it was 25 miles over 4 runs in a week. All about consistency and believing in yourself 😊

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

Heal up soon! Keep me posted with how it goes!!

[@SpeedGio]

Thank you for showing kms! 🎉

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

My pleasure! 😁

[@user-xg4vt6qw8d]

My PB for a half marathon is 2:10:16. And that was my first half ever last year. Will be running the half in San Diego in two weeks

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

Good luck!!

[@joposcorner6016]

thank you

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

👍🏽👍🏽

[@luxurybagel5857]

How do you know when your ready to start training with these kind of times? For example I ran my first half 2:15 and want to run under 2 eventually, but my easy pace is like 7min km. I can probably run the 5:51km and 5km min training paces but i would probably struggle at the start, what should I do?

oooo so cool

[@haikalniza7060]

hi coach. i just came back from an injury. (tight calves causing foot pain) can i do slower easy pace but do the speed and workout at your recommendded pace?

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

For sure. I would spend some extra time focusing on the easier pace and gradually begin adding the speed. Focus on strengthening and muscle work too.

[@LuisRodriguez-xt6be]

Do you have plans in TrainingPeaks?

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

Yes I do, quite a few 👍🏽

What's your half marathon PR???

[@MillennialsOnline]

[@SpeedGio]

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]

@@SpeedGio so close to that sub 2!!

[@SpeedGio]

Yep! As a triathlete I was very good at biking, but always struggled with the final part of the run, so this year I focused on running, and results are here, I'm getting very good numbers now, and aiming for a 1:55 next January on a Half, and then im running my first marathon on September. Wish me luck. haha. @@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets

[@CoachJasonatRunningSecrets]
