Would like to know how many recreational runners are there in BHW.
It's only when I started running about a year and a half back I realized how much even a minute matters. Runners are like... I completed a full marathon in 5:29 or a half marathon in 2:01. Every minute is accounted. And, only a runner will understand this.
Nevertheless, I want to do a full marathon down the road. So far, I had done a few half marathons. The best timing being 2:16. (Dec -2018) Now, I am not one of those born runners out there. I generally end up fighting for oxygen on the race days to achieve somewhat better than modest timings. Nevertheless, the idea is to do a sub-2 half marathon first and then think about a full marathon. (A week back I did my first sub 1 in 57 mins for 10k distance)
How long did you guys take to do your first sub 2 half marathon? Runners with more experience than me----any half or full marathon experience/tips worth sharing?
