    Another great race video. Congratulations to all of you running this half M. You should be proud of your finish time. 1.33 is not far from what you aimed for and running with a camera isn´t always the easiest when road-racing. Well done I say!!😊👏👏

    Top class video Loyd, informative, honest and entertaining. You were not far off the 1:30 pacer at one point, despite sneaking a crafty 1/2 pint😅. Glad the injury didn’t affect your performance but as you say, back to the trails😊 Best wishes to Liga and John 🙏👏👏👍

    Great film as always Loyd. In terms of other road races, have you ever tried the Treggy 7 in Launceston? Lovely run with an absurdly tough hill in the middle!

    Great effort Loyd. I last ran this in 2019 and went 1.38. I remember that last straight road heading toward the stadium and looking at the windmill thinking 'it's not getting any closer'! 😩

    Congratulations for finishing with a pretty good time. Don't knock yourself! Glad to hear your leg was OK.
    I ran Cherry Blossom 5k & 10-mile races (Washington, DC) on Saturday and Sunday respectively and also used Endorphin Pro 3 in 10-mile race. Great shoe! I am also coming out of pelvic bone fracture injury in February and had not run a lot recently, I was happy with my performance. The soft landing and comfort of EP3 helped a lot. I ran the 5k race in VF2. Also, great but I needed a bit more confort for 10-miler.

    Well done, Loyd. It's brutal being in the threshold for so long - first 5k always feel like a breeze, but that middle section is brutal!

      It was pretty painful at times but it was worth the effort and we had a great weekend. I think it's good to mix in a bit of road racing now and again, great for mental toughness! Thanks for watching 😊

    Well done buddy! Reading is one of my fave HM and such a fun course. Did you think it would be a breeze on roads coming from ultras? 🤔

    • @Run4Adventure
      @Run4Adventure  Рік тому +1

      Not at all! I ran on the roads for 11 years before I started to focus on the trails so I knew what was coming. It's been a long time since I've raced on the roads so I wasn't really conditioned for it physically or mentally. It will go better next time 😁 Thanks for watching 🙏

    Have you tried running a 1/2 without eating/drinking?
    Shouldn't need anything for a 90 min run, not even water unless it's hot weather.

      @Run4Adventure  Рік тому +1

      Nutrition and hydration are super personal things and it's what works best for you that counts. I could easily go out for a 90min training run and have no food or water but I'd what something in a race 👍

    7.30 min per mile is pretty good no? that's a 4:41 m per km pace?

    • @Run4Adventure
      @Run4Adventure  Рік тому +1

      I suppose pace is relative to each individual Kevin. I've run a Marathon at 6.30 min per mile so I really would have liked to run the half marathon quicker 🤔
      I'm sure with a bit more road specific training I can get that time down quite a lot 👍
