Long Beach Half Marathon in mid-Oct. I'm signed up. I last did a half in 2005 where I did it in 2:03 (plus i had to take a crap during the run so i might have gone under 2:00?).
i've already started trash talking here at work but the time i want to beat is 1:50. so help me out.
any recommendations on books/websites to read? sprint workout recommendations? general training regimens?
my two best runs so far this year were a 7.45 at 1:00:38 and a 5.00 at just under 40:00. so i think the sub 1:50:00 half is doable but i definitely need to increase my endurance. the 7.26 at 1:01:30 this past weekend was really painful. i had to work at it.
also realize that i've never been a natural athlete like i imagine some of you are so be realistic in your recommendations.
