Long-Term Running Goals: I want to accomplish my short term goals first... Once I do that, I will have an idea of what to expect long term... 44 yrs old now and since I've been injured free for 1 month I am jumping back on marathon training. Any recommendations for a good marathon in December 2021? What is your recommendation? Personal: Don't knock it until you try it. Favorite Blogs: |

Houston Marathon Summary:
Things did not go my way this weekend... I lost my contact lens on Friday and I didn't have an extra lens. It made things difficult the whole entire weekend especially in the marathon. Slept at 10:00pm on Saturday and woke up at 3:30 am yea I couldn't go back to sleep. We left the hotel at 5:00 am and dropped off our bags at 6:20 we left to our corrals right after. My goal was to go 2:28 for the whole distance.
Here are my 5k splits for the marathon
5k 17:38 5:41 pace
10k 17:40 5:41 pace
15k 17:34 5:41 pace
20k 17:53 5:42 pace
25k 18:27 5:45 pace this is where I just wanted to get off the course my legs felt heavy my breathing and upper body were fine but my lower body was toasted. One thing I did not like about Houston is running on the Crete it pretty much destroyed my legs it's a nice course and fast but if you can't handle the Crete forget it!
30k 19:14 5:49 pace get me out of here!
35k 19:32 5:53 pace and let the passing game begin
40k 21:11 about 15 runners passed me including women haha I got chicked
2k 10:07 I was done already!

A) felt like i was losing my balance I was picking up my legs higher than usual because I was afraid of stepping on something (missing a contact made me feel unbalance)
B) didn't do any marathon specific work just ran single runs in the 90's for 8 weeks
C) I'm fine it's a perfect setup for boston gotta work on my tempos and thresholds!
That's how the cookie crumbled!
Here is my heart rate for the McAllen Marathon that I used as a training on Dec 11, 2011 Here is the one from Houston Marathon Jan 15, 2012 almost a month from McAllen I should have been able to run 5:38-5:40, but the concrete in Houston trashed my legs by mile 12. I posted the comparison because everyone asked me why didn't I run between 2:28-2:34. So I decided to post my heart rate of the two marathon in less than 34 days, I couldn't have been glycogen depleted by 12 miles, I should've DNF, but I've never dropped out of a race so I decided to finish it.
