There are several changes I am making for this plan. I have used the Hanson’s Half Marathon program with good results in past years, and have made a few tweaks along the way to get my times down. Not running stoppages because of injury.
PR in 3M Half (since it is downhill I count it as separate) (faster than 1:43:14 set in January 2019).PR in non-3M half marathon (faster than 1:45:54 set in February 2019).GoalsĪdding a goals section at the recommendation of my brother. Guess I should go find a flat race eventually. Since I started running races somewhat late in life (after rugby, basketball and other fun) the 1:43:14 in the 2019 3M is my PR in the Half, and the 1:45:54 in the Austin Half is my PR in a Half that isn’t all downhill (though there are a lot of hills in the Austin Half!). I hit it in the 3M, but since that one is downhill my goal is to get it in one of the non-downhill ones. But the goal is to always get faster, still aiming for that elusive sub-8:00 pace in the half (below 1:44:52). Much of the other times were within reasonable proximity to the year before, some a bit faster, some a bit slower. Much of that can be attributed to the Decker Challenge (that damn hill again), where my time was 4 minutes slower. Total time for the challenge was 4:07 slower year over year (that’s 4 minutes and 7 seconds, not 4 hours and 7 minutes – I ain’t getting old that quick!). The age groupings are based on the runners age at the date of the last race in the challenge – 2019-2020 Half Track Male Austin Distance Challenge 2018-2019 Half Track Male Austin Distance Challenge Previous Austin Distance Challenge Runsįor goals, below are the two previous attempts at the Austin Distance Challenge. I, suffering from only temporary bouts of insanity, run the three half marathons.
#JUNE RUNNING CHALLENGE 2021 FULL#
Thus there is a 5K, a 10K, a hilly ten-miler, and even hillier half-marathon (with a big damn hill), the “Downhill to Downtown” 3M Half, and runner’s choice full or half as the last race. Two races, those run by are still awaiting exact dates. Below is a screenshot from the Austin Distance Challenge website in May 2021 as I write this. During the virtual race year and for this upcoming year, a 10K has been added to fill a gap – now making it a race a month for six months. Those previous Austin Distance Challenges were five races. I have previously run the Austin Distance Challenge in 2018-2019 and in 2019-2020, but skipped the virtual races that were held during the pandemic.
