ULTRA to HALF MARATHON // Racing // Training // Recap

How did I drop nearly 4 minutes from my half marathon time from last year's race, running 56 miles per week? SPOILER ALERT: there is no special secret, but I'll share with you exactly what I did do. I dig through my training in the 10 weeks before the race, and the race itself as it played out. I also discuss how competitions push you to dig deep, fueling and hydration, and of course shoes and gear. This is the Race to Robie Creek - a half marathon here in Boise featuring 2,139 ft. of elevation gain, and 8.7 miles on dirt. It's a "rite of spring", with close to 2,000 runners taking on the adventure each year. https://runsignup.com/Race/ID/Boise/RacetoRobieCreek If you like these types of videos, of course throw some LIKEs out, but also please let me know in the comments. I like to discuss the training aspects of running as much as shoes and gear - and I'm happy to share my thoughts with you. Racing can be stressful, but the work and the training for me, is the fun and enjoyable part! 👉 PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite Trail vs Adidas Terrex Speed Ultra // SUPER SHOES on Trail ! 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF-kJylR2bg&list=PL6d8pVmxEoIRAuFZNn0E2jt4eerhUoNhZ 👉 Day after the race, pole testing 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTPBGhHfdZI&list=PL6d8pVmxEoIRAuFZNn0E2jt4eerhUoNhZ 👉 My first race of this season (January) | 20 MILER 👉 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsQPLtDthts&list=PL6d8pVmxEoIRAuFZNn0E2jt4eerhUoNhZ Join the Humble Running Community - don't miss any updates ➡️ *https://www.humblerunning.com* ################################################################## DISCLAIMER: All testing and review videos, including commentary during Q & A sessions are not shared with or reviewed by any brand or agency ahead of time.
