I don’t mean to pile on… but sorry, it’s true – it is a pretty pedestrian time.
It is not an impressive time for someone who had been an avid runner and trains to run a half marathon. HOWEVER, it IS an impressive time for someone who could not run 3 miles 7 months ago.
I come back. Just finish my first half marathon 21.1K today in 2h 11 minutes. Even it’s a modest result, I’m still happy because it’s my personal record (the longest distance that I have ever run).
Wow that sux
^ sometimes you crack me up and sometimes you’re just a weird cunt
I take it you wimped out of the 5th ave mile being that you posted this roughly during your heat. 
Do you know what forum you’re on lady? He was obviously typing it out on his phone with one hand while crushing the competition barely touching second gear
Nice man! Statistically you’re at about 50th percentile for all half marathon finishers so solid performance for a first time. That doesn’t even factor in the 99% of the general population who can’t even finish 13.1 miles at any pace. Add all that up and you’re in a unique echelon of fitness.
I speak from the heart when I say “sideways with a pineapple and no lube, dude”. I’d guess that only a small percentage of the population can even RUN a half-marathon. The benchmark isn’t the running population (at least, not for a relatively new runner) - it’s his past performances.
Thanks iheartiheartmath.
And I think we need sometimes a push to get out of comfort zone. For example, if my friends hadn’t challenged me the 2h running, I wouldn’t have thought about half marathon.
I even dream now about half ironman 
I wonder…what % of people in the US have been accepted to Harvard? (whether or not they attended or finished a degree)
What % of people in the US have finished a 1/2 marathon? (regardless of time)
This should give us an indication of whether 1/2 marathon is hacksaw or not.
Just curious, did you ever achieve this? That would be an impressive jump over 8 weeks if you did.
Update - I ran in a 10K race to finish up the running season and set a personal best of ~51 minutes (sub-8:15 pace) on a challenging hilly course. Far better than I thought I could do and a major improvement from my original goal of a sub-9 min pace a few months ago. I can attribute almost all of that delta to KMD coaching. Taking a few weeks off to heal my tired legs and then it’s back to training for new goals. Next year looking to set some strong PBs in the 1 mile, 5K, and half marathon distances.
nice job ihihm
KMD - just saw your time for this year for the 5th ave mile. Nice job!
