Why run a Half Marathon in November…well I knew Doug was considering this and Margie was actually running this so hey, why not?  The two really important races are next week.  I kind of raced this course for the first two miles – then chilled out a bit for the remaining miles knowing that I was not going to get the 7:57/mile pace.  There were two options…7:57/mile pace or 8:22/mile pace.  I decided on going for the later.  Sometimes I like having options going into races depending on my mood.  Other times – all out PR being sought.

My PR for the Half Marathon distance is 1:46:54 @ 8:09/mile pace. 

This Half Marathon result today is 1:51:28 @ 8:29/mile pace. 

BUT…a “rolling hills” Half Marathon with “rolling hills” being a bit of an understatement. 

The first ten miles are done at average 8:20/mile pace and this sees 517 feet of elevation. 

The next 3.1 miles see 440 feet of elevation.  Yep, the Race Director (like many) thought it would be fun for us to do some hill work at the end of the race – just in case you were lucky enough to get a Personal Record going – Not going to happen today!

When all is said and done, the Half Marathon is completed at 8:29/mile pace on average!!!

Given this total elevation of 957 FEET, I would say without the hills, a PR could have been achieved. 

This was an awesome course!  But not a course to seek a distance/time PR off of.  Check out the splits and elevation.

 

Okay, enough about that.  I visited my sister-in-law, nephew and niece yesterday.  Dan Kearney is my nephew.  He recently ran 1.5 miles (test) in 10:19!!!  Impressive?  Yes.  My best Mile is 6:51/mile.  He ran the 1.5 miles at 6:52/mile pace!  See below:

PREDICTED EQUIVALENT RACE TIMES (based on Dan’s 1.5 mile time of 10:19 and my mile time of 6:51).

Dan 6:37 mile compared to my 6:51 mile

Dan 10:19 for the 1.5 miles compared to my 10:39 for the 1.5 miles.

Dan 14:05 for the 2 miles compared to my 14:35.

Dan 22:28 for the 5K compared to my 23:16.

For anyone who knows anything about VDOT this puts Dan at 43.45 and me at 41.72! 

 

So now I have a goal of getting the 1.5 miles done in 10:19!  Thanks Dan!  I’ve got to match Dan’s awesome time.

I ran a hilly Half Marathon on Sunday so took it easy today getting the five miles done @ 8:54/mile in 44:31.  This five mile course sees pretty decent elevation by the way.

I ran the laps at Hamden High School with Brandon (10 year old son).  He got through 0.85 miles and then walked some.  Then stopped, started again.  At 5 laps took break (cooler, chocolate bars, Gatorade).  Back on track and total for him 7 laps.  I got my 3.23 miles done at 8:54/mile pace.
