Let us help link you up with folks for those long runs and have some local friends to travel to/from the race and celebrate with after your race.
Knoxville Half/Full Marathon is April 3rd! It's a hilly one, but nothing Charlottonians can't handle! Highly recommend it...only 4 hr drive from Charlotte.

I may do the knoxville half, also would liek to do shamrock half. Need a training group. Goal is to break 1:28, i guess that means i need to train at low 7's?
ReplyDeletecan you list ultras as well?
ReplyDeleteChristine Witte...no return email so I am responding back in hopes this reaches you. Feel free to email run.charlotte@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSo you ran 1.33.12 at Dowd which is about 7.07 pace. Nice job by the way! Great time and a high finish!
1.28 is about 6.43 pace
Good site here to tinker with splits ---> http://www.users.on.net/~klima/rkcalc_hmi.htm
That is a 24 second improvement per mile which is pretty significant. Unless you are substantially upgrading your training regimen, that might be a big aggressive.
As far as training, you don't necessarily train at your race pace. You have easy days and hard days. Some of the hard days at are paces faster than your half to get used to running faster.
It is a good goal but if you are interested in obtaining it, I recommend you look into a coach that can give you a bit more direction. One of the best in town is Mark Hadley. His info is under local resources on the club website (www.charlotterunningclub.org).
Happy Running
In response to Andrew - yes we can certainly list ultras. Let us know which ones please.
