That's just so cool watching an actual "normal" runner on a running channel. Sarah you bring so much motiviation to people like us who can never compare to the "best ones" we usually see in those types of videos. Thanks for that, and big kudos for your PB :)
Hi Sarah! Congratulations on your new PB! Pace Pro strategies def help a ton :D I also ran a half marathon but by myself on 31st October 21, using pace pro strategy. My previous PB was 1:57:20, but this time I got 1:55:41 on the same course which has an elevation gain of 363m.
I’m just getting back into running, did it in high school, and even ran a few half marathon, and a marathon. Life happened and fell off the wagon. Started watching your training videos in July/August and it inspired me to get back into running! Got my first half marathon with me being back in action this weekend! Thanks for all you do at the Running Channel!
Thanks for this comment! I'd been noticing that on strava, fellow MAF runners running far faster WITH walk breaks than without. I've just started experimenting to see if it works for me too, and today will be my 3rd test.
Generally speaking you'd be faster overall if you just did the running sections at a slower pace but continuously. That said, if you go slow enough your form starts to break down, and that actually could be less efficient than walking.
Great effort, running watches do make pb attempts so much easier to keep track of! I remember being fatigued and really struggling to do the basic maths...
DID my first ever marathon 2 weeks ago in Lisbon! Amazing experience. Was hoping TO do sub 4. Ended up doing 4:03 . Proud of the accomplishments considering I had just recovered from covid 6 weeks prior. Next step is getting something on my wrist to get better at pacing🔥💪🏿
Pace pro looks interesting. I'm looking to get a 3:20 PB in my Marathon. Congratulations on getting your PB, I'm sure you'll do even better if you attempt this in a flat road race.
I’ve got my first marathon in 2 months time, training has been such a tough journey but always feeling motivated after watching this channel, so thank you!!
This is cool. I bought my first running watch, a Garmin Forerunner 55, because of your video on following the watch training plan for 30 days. Now I'm going to give this feature a try.
congrats on the pb even with a fall! i think we've all fallen while trail running, it's like a rite of passage. 😬 i struggle with pacing so this looks like exactly what i need!
Pffff Running a half PR, on hilly trail, while talking to the camera is just plain savage in itself; well done! Imagine what your time would have been if you didn't walk! ;)
Well done, the secret to long distance running and keeping it enjoyable is learning how to transfer from running to walking and back again. A very underrated skill, but for us non competitive runners, an essential skill.
I recently discovered this channel and I must say it is addictive for all the right reasons! I've signed up for my first half marathon in April and your videos always give me lots of motivation to go out and run :) Thank you!
im signed up for my first half in april too. i dont usually run with anyone and this is my fist race ever, so the vibe may be weird, hopefully great though. whats your longest distance? ive done 15km nonstop on flat, or 19km walk/run up in the hills. so curious to see how i go!! good luck with your training
All these features on watches these days are awesome. I've just got into running for the first time in 12 years, this is my first week outside of Couch to 5K, with an eye to doing an ultra next year.
I currently haven't got anything in the calendar booked, but did a baseline parkrun this morning with the aim of improving that time over the winter, provided it doesn't become a mud bath!
It was so interesting to see this function in action and loved hearing all your thoughts during the run! I'm so happy you've successfully completed your half marathon, GO YOU!✨🙌🏻
Great to see and hear "real" thoughts and emotions that we can relate to. Yesterday I ran a full marathon solo because the event was cancelled. 1st half went okay then it all turned to custard! I don't know what failed first, my mind or my body. Barely running at the end, but still finished. Might have gone a bit fast at the start....
Yesterday I ran a full marathon solo. 1st half went okay then it all turned to custard! I don't know what failed first, my mind or my body. Barely running at the end, but still finished. Might have gone a bit fast at the start.... Exactly the same, mate - not just you.
Honestly when I walk even just for 10 seconds to a minute I think it gives my body a rest and my mind. I always make it later on. I used to hate to stop even for a second but now I do ot because I feel like it helps me and doesn't affect my time.
Starting to run this year, amazing to see Sarah's journey as someone who's struggling to get that mental game going. Seeing the honesty is a lot of help for me!
Well done! I'm still attempting to get to grips with trail running... and I've attempted 30..40..whatever.. mostly short(sic) off road ultras: I don't like them! I've decided to treat them as a 'long run' training for road half and full marathons, time on feet, a Calorie using day in the country. They are not races for me anymore: I have a 50 miler in a couple of weeks, there is a 14 hour cutoff, I'm aiming for 13hours 59minutes (other in - race - cutoffs may apply!) Explain. Why were there only runners towards the end of the race? I'm confused! Where were they near the beginning? Garmins? Don't ya luv 'em! Great app, great features... I've got the Fenix 5x and frankly I don't need all the metrics shown. I have a local 10mile off roader 2morro - damn... It is the 10 miler that feels like a half! This will be my 6th time running (staggering and shambling) my way around it. Happy days
So interesting to follow Sarah’s progress over the last few months and over lockdown. Inspiring stuff. I love doing the maths doing a run as it keeps the brain active but to have something on my wrist being able to keep track of it sounds great
Congratulations on your new PB PacePro is amazing and I'm using it for my first ever 105 Mile race in a few weeks (starting November 28th !! so close) Using PacePro to let me know mostly how far ahead I am as I have a cut off time of 32 hours but I've set the run time for 31 hours 30 minutes so I'm not cutting it close to cut off times for the event. The way my Running is going now though I think I'll finish maybe around 26-28 hours though, just don't want to put pressure of time on myself though, aim to finish.
2022 is when I make inroads in getting my 1/2 Marathon/Marathon And Ultra Times Down Currently 1hr 36 Min For 1/2 3hrs 47 Min For Marathon (1st Attempt) And 5hrs 21 Minutes Doing GO33 Torrential Rain And 40Mph Headwinds Well Done On Pb 🏃🏻♀️👍😎
Loving all the videos, I love trail running through the woods, my roads are so uneven Iv injured myself a few time with my knee & ankle, I run faster on the roads but running for me is getting that runners high through the trees & around the lakes. I currently use my Apple Watch to monitor my runs, Iv run 2 10k races & getting myself ready for my first HM. Thanks for taking the time with theses videos it really is a motivational tool🙏🏻🙏🏻
You know, if you hadn’t walked… 😜 J/k, well done, Sarah! After having run my first marathon, I’m now aiming to improve my Parkrun PB. The Parkrun here has some truly DISGUSTING hills so believe me when I say that I’ll be extremely happy to just make 25:00 on those 5km. But even there a PacePro watch could really help!
I’m currently training for my first half marathon this summer. I started with dropping my pace and using the Maffetone Method. I’m starting week 7, and have doubled my distance from 4km to 8km, and my MAF (142 bpm) pace has improved by almost 2 minutes. Would love a fresh new Garmin to help me as I ramp up my training over the following months. ☺️🏃♀️
Very interesting video to watch! Also, massive kudos for setting a PB WHILE FILMING A VIDEO. As if focussing on your pacing while running at your limit is not enough already 😀
I ran the Minneapolis Halloween Half on Saturday...and PRd! I've PRd every distance this year, save for the marathon. I have two more opportunities to do that this year - SpaceCoast and Dallas. After watching this video, I may consider trying Pace Pro in either or both races. I thought about it 6wks ago for another Half (which I also PRd), but didn't get around to figuring out how to set it up. We shall see. Also, it may just have been the audio quality in the video, but it sounded like Sarah is heavy on her feet (clop clop clop of her footsteps). Each loud footstep is like applying the brakes. Run lighter = run faster.
Wow! I would love to try your strategy with the Garmin watch. You crushed it! I am signed up for a Half Marathon next year. I would look forward to the training. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Congrats -- I have only run 1 marathon -- 5:48?? -- thinking about running the North / South Gettysburg marathon next April --- being older I have been using Jeff Galloway's Run / Walk method -- taking a minute walk every mile you keep your legs fresher ??
Congrats, Sarah! Running on grass ( and undulations) is tough. I train on undulating terrain all the time since I have no choice, but I try to avoid grass because it simply absorbs energy and gives nothing back. I am aiming to go from a 2:30 HM time to 1:52 by May 2022 so that's a big goal for me. I tend to do well by running negative splits so Pace Pro would help with keeping me on track. My current Garmin watch (Forerunner 45) does not have PacePro, alas, so I'd have to keep my paces written down on my arm and check periodically how I'm going. Anyway, well done Sarah!
I just ran my first 10k race across the bay bridge in md on halloween morning. It was the coolest accomplishment of my life so far, im 43 and had open heart surgery in 2009 for an aortic aneurysm, then I lost 255lbs. in 5-6 yrzjust so I can do things like ride roller coasters,go hikinh,Run races,and live a long happy life💯 Keep running youre inspiring me to try a half marathon myself♾
Great video. I'm shooting for a 10k PB in November when it's a bit colder. The heat seems to really effect me when I'm going all out. The pace pro seems interesting, I like how it adjusts for the hills. Thanks for the vid. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh - I should have used this for my recent HM - Oxford HM. Met my goal of sub 5m/km HM, but programmed in a pace strategy of progressive splits over 5 miles/5 miles/5km. Or I thought I had - turns out, the first 2 * 5 mile segments, I accidentally programmed as 5 metre segments 🤣 Changed strategy to just stick as near to 4:55 as I can :) I think I would have ditched the intended strategy anyway, due to elevation changes at various parts of the course.
Great video Sarah, thanks for that! Out of all extra features i have in my Garmin watch, i most appreciate PacePro and Garmin Coach. I used PacePro for my first Half three weeks ago. I trained for 1:48 finish time using Garmin Coach (Greg), set up PacePro accordingly and ... i did it, got my PB at 1:48:40. Greg´s training plan really works me, i like the structure of his workouts... and most important - it delivered the result :)
I never won a big prize like this. So I buy my first watch myself yesterday, forerunner 245. Pace Pro is gonna be on my wrist for 2022 race season. I don't expect myself beating my PB for HalfMarathon this year. The course I set myself to really steep against my first Half this year. So we'll see. But I'm looking forward to use all this tech on my races ;)
Brilliant run!! The Course looked like a serious challenge, did the pace pro tell you to walk as well 🤷🏽♂️🤣 would love to try this feature for my first ultra in December, I haven't got a clue how to pace myself for this as it's my first ultra and also 7000ft elevation 🙈
I've closed the season with an IM 70.3 with a 4:47:14 on October 31. One of my best bike splits. I may have overcooked a little bit, ran 1:50(HM) afterward. Worst run but still an overall PB :)
Just imagine how fast...oh wait, never mind. ;) Seriously, great job! That's quite an accomplishment. Very cool feature on the Garmin 55. I wonder how doing a race with pace pro would compare to using running power. That would be an interesting test. Once again, great job. Congrats!
I am running my first race EVER! The Miami half marathon. I am excited and nervous. Have been trying to save up enough money for a Garmin watch so it would be awesome if I could win 1. Love you guys and your channel freaking amazing!!!
Well done lovely bravo 🙌 - I stacked it for the 1st time doing a trail half last Sunday (Marlow 2 Henley) tripped over a tree root luckily there was nobody there but my running buddy to witness it !! This weekend I have my 1st trail Marathon; Broadway in the Coltswolds Iv not run over a half since Brighton in Sept so I’m a wee bit nervous - oh well I’m sure the scenery will be worth it if nothing else 🤣 xx
Well done Sarah, and TRC. Well. You got me to get a FR55 over my Fenix 5+ and use suggested workouts, which are brilliant, and now I will definitely be checking out the Pace Pro feature as well.
I'm trying mine this weekend. First half, first race. I just don't know what is a realistic target for my pace pro. Watch estimates 2:07 for this route. Missing my 2:00 target because I lost six weeks to a calf injury. And I'm also worried about pushing the pace and reawakening said calf injury.
Pace is always an issue for me. Recently completed my first Marathon in York (jog, walk, crawl method) and am hoping to improve my time for the Edinburgh Marathon😀
Great Run Sarah! I am also in a love/hate relationship with my FR945. Should I win a watch, I would give it to my mother-in-law, who recently started running and is making such good progress, also health wise 🙂🙌
You are an inspiration, truly! I’m watching at 1.5x on the treadmill. ☺️ I can see an uneven gait; is that from holding the camera? I wonder if you can alter every other video? 🤷♀️❤️
I've done my PB 5k this summer. It's not a staggering time but for years I couldn't break through the 25 min wall. So in my 30's I've done what I wasn't able to do in my 20's and run a solid 24:28 min 5k 😅 Next year I'm definitely going to run 22-ish 5k 💪
Well done, Sarah! You know, you could even been a bit faster if you didn’t walk! 😈 (Been watching this video during a 45 minute elliptical training, so could actually use the water over my head 😁 )
I love your work ethic. Well done. I have a 235 so I don’t think it can do what yours can. I have my first marathon ‘Yorkshire marathon’ in October. The great north run four weeks before. Great video. And well done again 🙌🏾
Bravoo, i realy like and enjoy watching your videos, its like you telling my story:) Please keep the channel going and can't wait your's next videos. Stay healthy and injuri free, your fan Kiril from North Macedonia.
I'm signed up for the Disney World Marathon. It will also be my first marathon and my first time to any Disney park. I'm so excited!! 😊😊 Your channel has been the best thing for my training so happy I found y'all!
Awesome work Sarah, well done, I’m currently running an Apple Watch series 3 but have been seriously been thinking of upgrading to a Garmin but don’t have a spare $1000 nzd. I have a 1st marathon booked in for the end of jan and want to do a sub 4hr. Pace pro would be Brilliant for this
I have been in similar situation. It was miserable. Then, somewhat later, I had the opportunity to race in much colder weather, under 10 degrees Celsius. In shorts, in thin T-shirt. I cannot express how much better that was! HR-wise, timewise, feelingwise - in every possible way! I won't ever take a race seriously that is over 15 degrees.
Fantastic performance Sarah! APB on that course is a brilliant effort, congratulations! Absolutely walk! Those Mizunos took a battering on that course I bet?
Can you use Pace Pro if you're not doing a course as such? So just running 10km but use it to pace a PB? I'll have to go away and read up on it. (Congrats on the pb).
Running my first race on Nov 7th in San Francisco. The Golden Gate Half Marathon, I’m really excited & have been watching The Running Channel for motivation all training!
hwo do you do the pace pro to a specific route and race? Have really a hard time finding that out. I can make a pace pro strategy yes but not like so specific like you show on the video. Also I cannot load a map there...I can create an own map, yes....but I cannot find Garmin instructions for the forerunner on this either...
I ran a 10K yesterday across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge so this might have been useful. Because the first half is uphill and the second half downhill, it is built for a negative split. That said, I wasn’t trying for a PR, and wanted to enjoy the views a little bit. I did use Finish Time feature on my Garmin to compare with my last in person 10K time, which was helpful. It allowed me to look down occasionally and see what sort of finish time was possible if I pushed a bit.
Nice work, I see nothing wrong with walking during a race, especially a hilly trail race. I'm running a 30km trail race in 5 weeks, with 2 really big climbs around the middle of the course. I will probably use a run/walk strategy throughout the race, as it is 5 weeks before my goal marathon. Good work.
Awesome video! Well done you!!! I am going for a PB half marathon tomorrow morning. Conditions look perfect - not an official race, just me out on my own, but since the past year has cancelled many races, I am totally ok with running without the fan fair (although I miss the crowds a lot). I wish my Garmin Vivoactive had the Pace Pro option!
Having a dog that needs to run/ slow jog every day/every other day helped me get back into running, signed up for a turkey trot 5k and a 10 miler this month 🤗(only me not my dog)
"If anyone comments below saying how fast a time you could've got if you didn't walk. . ." More like imagine how much faster you could've gone if you ran a you ran a half marathon without a trail and didn't have to walk. Well done, Sarah! :)
I'm trying to get back my running fitness after being ill. I'm up to 11km runs now, but finding them uncomfortable. I've the Edinburgh half marathon to do next year.
If you want to smash you PB HM, do interval 10x1km a week before your attempt. Use you 5KM-10KM race pace. For me, its really work for increase stamina. And add more easy run, if me 2-3 time a week easy run. 😄
I ran my first trail half marathon this weekend. I wanted to do 8 minute miles the whole way but that didn't happen. I ran the first four miles at a 7:30 pace which kind of destroyed my legs because I didn't realize there was major hills coming up. I managed to end up with a one hour and 50 minute time. I think my watch had me at an 8:23 pace but I didn't stop the workout fast enough. On trail runs it's definitely definitely a good idea to use pace pro. I will next time.
Yay Sarah! I think sub 2 half officially makes you a beast! If you ever find yourself in Western North Carolina running, I think you will find our hills quite a bit more disgusting. Always fun to see what you get up to, great Garmin.
I like to go by heart rate and feel on these courses. For example, if you know you can go 13 miles when your heartbeat hovers around 150bpm then go with that. It kind of feels liberating.
Pace Pro?! I’m more in the pacemaker category but you absolutely killed that and I’m very impressed! Well done and thank you for the excellent, informative and entertaining content. 👍
I'd like to have a Garmin watch. All the features you guys have showed in your videos make me think about it as a nice companion for my trainings. Cheers, Sarah, for all the challenges you're achieving!!!
Amazing time Sarah. I wish i knew pace pro exisiting before. The maths can be headscratching when i run. My next half is Queen Elizabeth Cross country on the amazing downs.
Im planning to run two marathons next year with month between them. Signed up already for one. In additional gonna make trail half marathon. It's gonna be busy running 2022🏃♂️😎
Are you training for a personal best? What races are you signed up to? Let us know in the comments below!
Currently training for 15K!
Training for 10km for end of Jan’22
Just signed up for the Doynton Hard Half (lots of hills, lots of mud) in the UK. Sounds like Sarah might not be keen on that one?!
Doing a 10 mile training plan atm!
Signed up for a 1/2 marathon in December. Probably not a PB, my last 1/2 was more than a decade ago! I'll be happy to complete.
I just ran my first 5K race yesterday and it was amazing!! I was going for a sub 35, but I finished in 29:35 minutes 😁😁
I think your times will continue to go down. Well done!
That's just so cool watching an actual "normal" runner on a running channel. Sarah you bring so much motiviation to people like us who can never compare to the "best ones" we usually see in those types of videos. Thanks for that, and big kudos for your PB :)
I love it when Sarah calls things DISGUSTING makes me smile every time. ❤️😍
Haha, was going to comment this
Good run
Everything just sounds better in English. She should do voice over her voice is so pleasant.
2 DISGUSTINGs in this episode!
Hi Sarah! Congratulations on your new PB! Pace Pro strategies def help a ton :D
I also ran a half marathon but by myself on 31st October 21, using pace pro strategy. My previous PB was 1:57:20, but this time I got 1:55:41 on the same course which has an elevation gain of 363m.
Great job Sarah! You’re a great addition to TRC. I remember when you came out from behind the scenes. It’s been fun watching you reach your goals!
Its amazing how Sarah gives such good commentary whilst doing these efforts!
Sarah's "let's do this" is going to be my go to motivation phrase at the start of my next races. So simple, yet so powerful💪
Will be running my first ever marathon in 2 weeks!! Been watching Sarah's marathon journey on repeat and it has been so so helpful
Watches can only do so much; it's your legs that did the running Sarah!🏃
I’m just getting back into running, did it in high school, and even ran a few half marathon, and a marathon. Life happened and fell off the wagon. Started watching your training videos in July/August and it inspired me to get back into running! Got my first half marathon with me being back in action this weekend! Thanks for all you do at the Running Channel!
"I was like 'Ooh, a trail half marathon. That sounds fun...' No! No!" - LOL Great job, Sarah :)
Walking is underrated. When I run 4 minutes and walk 30 seconds I run at faster pace overall than if I ran continuously.
Thanks for this comment! I'd been noticing that on strava, fellow MAF runners running far faster WITH walk breaks than without. I've just started experimenting to see if it works for me too, and today will be my 3rd test.
Generally speaking you'd be faster overall if you just did the running sections at a slower pace but continuously. That said, if you go slow enough your form starts to break down, and that actually could be less efficient than walking.

I’m going to start calling all my runs “disgusting” 😂
congrats on the pb even with a fall! i think we've all fallen while trail running, it's like a rite of passage. 😬
i struggle with pacing so this looks like exactly what i need!
I’m sorry if you have said before, but which Garmin do you have? I have been thinking of making the move over to Garmin.
Good job. Falling when trail running is inevitable to happen at least once. You got a badge of honor. Training for a 50k currently.
Pffff
Running a half PR, on hilly trail, while talking to the camera is just plain savage in itself; well done!
Imagine what your time would have been if you didn't walk! ;)
Well done, the secret to long distance running and keeping it enjoyable is learning how to transfer from running to walking and back again. A very underrated skill, but for us non competitive runners, an essential skill.
Great tip, thanks Shaun!

How on earth do you run and film? I struggle to run and breathe at the same time.
I recently discovered this channel and I must say it is addictive for all the right reasons! I've signed up for my first half marathon in April and your videos always give me lots of motivation to go out and run :) Thank you!
im signed up for my first half in april too. i dont usually run with anyone and this is my fist race ever, so the vibe may be weird, hopefully great though. whats your longest distance? ive done 15km nonstop on flat, or 19km walk/run up in the hills. so curious to see how i go!! good luck with your training
Think a PB while recording and talking is a bit much to try in fairness
All these features on watches these days are awesome. I've just got into running for the first time in 12 years, this is my first week outside of Couch to 5K, with an eye to doing an ultra next year.
You can do it!! I hope I see updates in the comments as you go through training!
as someone who is trying to run my first marathon watching Sarah’s journey has been SO motivational!!
I currently haven't got anything in the calendar booked, but did a baseline parkrun this morning with the aim of improving that time over the winter, provided it doesn't become a mud bath!
It was so interesting to see this function in action and loved hearing all your thoughts during the run! I'm so happy you've successfully completed your half marathon, GO YOU!✨🙌🏻
Sarah: well done and thank you for being such a great coach and inspiration to us all!
Great to see and hear "real" thoughts and emotions that we can relate to.
Yesterday I ran a full marathon solo because the event was cancelled. 1st half went okay then it all turned to custard! I don't know what failed first, my mind or my body. Barely running at the end, but still finished. Might have gone a bit fast at the start....

I currently own a Garmin Forerunner 10, using the PacePro would be a game changer! I need to upgrade 🤓🏃🏻♀️
I love watching Sarah smash her goals, she's so motivating, so motivating in fact I'm now looking at half marathons to race soon. Thanks for the push!
Do it!! Then come back to this comment and update us all!! Half marathons get addictive ASF!! 🤣🔥
Well done!
I'm still attempting to get to grips with trail running... and I've attempted 30..40..whatever.. mostly short(sic) off road ultras: I don't like them!

Why were there only runners towards the end of the race? I'm confused! Where were they near the beginning?
Garmins? Don't ya luv 'em! Great app, great features... I've got the Fenix 5x and frankly I don't need all the metrics shown.
I have a local 10mile off roader 2morro - damn... It is the 10 miler that feels like a half! This will be my 6th time running (staggering and shambling) my way around it.
Happy days
So interesting to follow Sarah’s progress over the last few months and over lockdown. Inspiring stuff. I love doing the maths doing a run as it keeps the brain active but to have something on my wrist being able to keep track of it sounds great
Congratulations on your new PB
PacePro is amazing and I'm using it for my first ever 105 Mile race in a few weeks (starting November 28th !! so close)
Using PacePro to let me know mostly how far ahead I am as I have a cut off time of 32 hours but I've set the run time for 31 hours 30 minutes so I'm not cutting it close to cut off times for the event.
The way my Running is going now though I think I'll finish maybe around 26-28 hours though, just don't want to put pressure of time on myself though, aim to finish.

I ran the Minneapolis Halloween Half on Saturday...and PRd! I've PRd every distance this year, save for the marathon. I have two more opportunities to do that this year - SpaceCoast and Dallas. After watching this video, I may consider trying Pace Pro in either or both races. I thought about it 6wks ago for another Half (which I also PRd), but didn't get around to figuring out how to set it up. We shall see.
Also, it may just have been the audio quality in the video, but it sounded like Sarah is heavy on her feet (clop clop clop of her footsteps). Each loud footstep is like applying the brakes. Run lighter = run faster.
Wow! I would love to try your strategy with the Garmin watch. You crushed it! I am signed up for a Half Marathon next year. I would look forward to the training. 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
Congrats -- I have only run 1 marathon -- 5:48?? -- thinking about running the North / South Gettysburg marathon next April --- being older I have been using Jeff Galloway's Run / Walk method -- taking a minute walk every mile you keep your legs fresher ??
Congrats, Sarah! Running on grass ( and undulations) is tough. I train on undulating terrain all the time since I have no choice, but I try to avoid grass because it simply absorbs energy and gives nothing back. I am aiming to go from a 2:30 HM time to 1:52 by May 2022 so that's a big goal for me. I tend to do well by running negative splits so Pace Pro would help with keeping me on track. My current Garmin watch (Forerunner 45) does not have PacePro, alas, so I'd have to keep my paces written down on my arm and check periodically how I'm going. Anyway, well done Sarah!
I just ran my first 10k race across the bay bridge in md on halloween morning.
It was the coolest accomplishment of my life so far,
im 43 and had open heart surgery in 2009 for an aortic aneurysm, then I lost 255lbs. in 5-6 yrzjust so I can do things like ride roller coasters,go hikinh,Run races,and live a long happy life💯
Keep running
youre inspiring me to try a half marathon myself♾
Great video. I'm shooting for a 10k PB in November when it's a bit colder. The heat seems to really effect me when I'm going all out. The pace pro seems interesting, I like how it adjusts for the hills. Thanks for the vid. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Oh - I should have used this for my recent HM - Oxford HM. Met my goal of sub 5m/km HM, but programmed in a pace strategy of progressive splits over 5 miles/5 miles/5km. Or I thought I had - turns out, the first 2 * 5 mile segments, I accidentally programmed as 5 metre segments 🤣 Changed strategy to just stick as near to 4:55 as I can :) I think I would have ditched the intended strategy anyway, due to elevation changes at various parts of the course.
Great video Sarah, thanks for that! Out of all extra features i have in my Garmin watch, i most appreciate PacePro and Garmin Coach. I used PacePro for my first Half three weeks ago. I trained for 1:48 finish time using Garmin Coach (Greg), set up PacePro accordingly and ... i did it, got my PB at 1:48:40. Greg´s training plan really works me, i like the structure of his workouts... and most important - it delivered the result :)
I never won a big prize like this. So I buy my first watch myself yesterday, forerunner 245. Pace Pro is gonna be on my wrist for 2022 race season. I don't expect myself beating my PB for HalfMarathon this year. The course I set myself to really steep against my first Half this year. So we'll see. But I'm looking forward to use all this tech on my races ;)
Brilliant run!! The Course looked like a serious challenge, did the pace pro tell you to walk as well 🤷🏽♂️🤣 would love to try this feature for my first ultra in December, I haven't got a clue how to pace myself for this as it's my first ultra and also 7000ft elevation 🙈
I've closed the season with an IM 70.3 with a 4:47:14 on October 31.
One of my best bike splits. I may have overcooked a little bit, ran 1:50(HM) afterward.
Worst run but still an overall PB :)
3:44 of course we are enjoying your pain, we are runners !!! 💪💪
Just imagine how fast...oh wait, never mind. ;) Seriously, great job! That's quite an accomplishment. Very cool feature on the Garmin 55. I wonder how doing a race with pace pro would compare to using running power. That would be an interesting test. Once again, great job. Congrats!
I am running my first race EVER! The Miami half marathon. I am excited and nervous. Have been trying to save up enough money for a Garmin watch so it would be awesome if I could win 1. Love you guys and your channel freaking amazing!!!
Applied for London... again! On the plus side, if I do get in, it'll be a marathon PB! I'm sure the garmin would help me do even better mind!!
Well done lovely bravo 🙌 - I stacked it for the 1st time doing a trail half last Sunday (Marlow 2 Henley) tripped over a tree root luckily there was nobody there but my running buddy to witness it !! This weekend I have my 1st trail Marathon; Broadway in the Coltswolds Iv not run over a half since Brighton in Sept so I’m a wee bit nervous - oh well I’m sure the scenery will be worth it if nothing else 🤣 xx
Well done Sarah, and TRC. Well. You got me to get a FR55 over my Fenix 5+ and use suggested workouts, which are brilliant, and now I will definitely be checking out the Pace Pro feature as well.
I'm trying mine this weekend. First half, first race. I just don't know what is a realistic target for my pace pro. Watch estimates 2:07 for this route. Missing my 2:00 target because I lost six weeks to a calf injury. And I'm also worried about pushing the pace and reawakening said calf injury.
Great running Sarah,keep it up.
I’ve got the New Forest Half in September and will definitely be using PacePro on my Fenix7XSS.
Can’t wait to try it out.
Great Video BTW
Pace is always an issue for me. Recently completed my first Marathon in York (jog, walk, crawl method) and am hoping to improve my time for the Edinburgh Marathon😀
Great Run Sarah! I am also in a love/hate relationship with my FR945. Should I win a watch, I would give it to my mother-in-law, who recently started running and is making such good progress, also health wise 🙂🙌
You are an inspiration, truly! I’m watching at 1.5x on the treadmill. ☺️ I can see an uneven gait; is that from holding the camera? I wonder if you can alter every other video? 🤷♀️❤️
I've done my PB 5k this summer. It's not a staggering time but for years I couldn't break through the 25 min wall. So in my 30's I've done what I wasn't able to do in my 20's and run a solid 24:28 min 5k 😅 Next year I'm definitely going to run 22-ish 5k 💪
Well done, Sarah!
You know, you could even been a bit faster if you didn’t walk! 😈 (Been watching this video during a 45 minute elliptical training, so could actually use the water over my head 😁 )
I love your work ethic. Well done. I have a 235 so I don’t think it can do what yours can. I have my first marathon ‘Yorkshire marathon’ in October. The great north run four weeks before. Great video. And well done again 🙌🏾
Bravoo, i realy like and enjoy watching your videos, its like you telling my story:) Please keep the channel going and can't wait your's next videos. Stay healthy and injuri free, your fan Kiril from North Macedonia.
I'm signed up for the Disney World Marathon. It will also be my first marathon and my first time to any Disney park. I'm so excited!! 😊😊 Your channel has been the best thing for my training so happy I found y'all!
My favourite channel on UA-cam... Every time I watch it i just want to go a run 🏃😁😁😁... Great work guys keep up the good work
Awesome work Sarah, well done, I’m currently running an Apple Watch series 3 but have been seriously been thinking of upgrading to a Garmin but don’t have a spare $1000 nzd. I have a 1st marathon booked in for the end of jan and want to do a sub 4hr. Pace pro would be Brilliant for this
I have been in similar situation. It was miserable. Then, somewhat later, I had the opportunity to race in much colder weather, under 10 degrees Celsius. In shorts, in thin T-shirt. I cannot express how much better that was! HR-wise, timewise, feelingwise - in every possible way! I won't ever take a race seriously that is over 15 degrees.
Fantastic performance Sarah! APB on that course is a brilliant effort, congratulations! Absolutely walk! Those Mizunos took a battering on that course I bet?
Can you use Pace Pro if you're not doing a course as such? So just running 10km but use it to pace a PB? I'll have to go away and read up on it. (Congrats on the pb).
Running my first race on Nov 7th in San Francisco. The Golden Gate Half Marathon, I’m really excited & have been watching The Running Channel for motivation all training!
That would come in handy... I am trying to get a PB at Lisbon half marathon 21 November.... Funny thing it will be my Bday. Wish me luck.
hwo do you do the pace pro to a specific route and race? Have really a hard time finding that out. I can make a pace pro strategy yes but not like so specific like you show on the video. Also I cannot load a map there...I can create an own map, yes....but I cannot find Garmin instructions for the forerunner on this either...
I ran a 10K yesterday across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge so this might have been useful. Because the first half is uphill and the second half downhill, it is built for a negative split. That said, I wasn’t trying for a PR, and wanted to enjoy the views a little bit. I did use Finish Time feature on my Garmin to compare with my last in person 10K time, which was helpful. It allowed me to look down occasionally and see what sort of finish time was possible if I pushed a bit.
Nice work, I see nothing wrong with walking during a race, especially a hilly trail race. I'm running a 30km trail race in 5 weeks, with 2 really big climbs around the middle of the course. I will probably use a run/walk strategy throughout the race, as it is 5 weeks before my goal marathon. Good work.
Awesome video! Well done you!!! I am going for a PB half marathon tomorrow morning. Conditions look perfect - not an official race, just me out on my own, but since the past year has cancelled many races, I am totally ok with running without the fan fair (although I miss the crowds a lot). I wish my Garmin Vivoactive had the Pace Pro option!
Having a dog that needs to run/ slow jog every day/every other day helped me get back into running, signed up for a turkey trot 5k and a 10 miler this month 🤗(only me not my dog)
Gonna try to use this PacePro feature on my garmin real soon. Thanks for sharing! Much love from 🇵🇭
"If anyone comments below saying how fast a time you could've got if you didn't walk. . ."
More like imagine how much faster you could've gone if you ran a you ran a half marathon without a trail and didn't have to walk.
Well done, Sarah! :)
I'm trying to get back my running fitness after being ill. I'm up to 11km runs now, but finding them uncomfortable. I've the Edinburgh half marathon to do next year.
If you want to smash you PB HM, do interval 10x1km a week before your attempt. Use you 5KM-10KM race pace. For me, its really work for increase stamina. And add more easy run, if me 2-3 time a week easy run. 😄
I ran my first trail half marathon this weekend. I wanted to do 8 minute miles the whole way but that didn't happen. I ran the first four miles at a 7:30 pace which kind of destroyed my legs because I didn't realize there was major hills coming up. I managed to end up with a one hour and 50 minute time. I think my watch had me at an 8:23 pace but I didn't stop the workout fast enough. On trail runs it's definitely definitely a good idea to use pace pro. I will next time.
Yay Sarah! I think sub 2 half officially makes you a beast! If you ever find yourself in Western North Carolina running, I think you will find our hills quite a bit more disgusting. Always fun to see what you get up to, great Garmin.
I like to go by heart rate and feel on these courses. For example, if you know you can go 13 miles when your heartbeat hovers around 150bpm then go with that. It kind of feels liberating.
Pace Pro?! I’m more in the pacemaker category but you absolutely killed that and I’m very impressed!
Well done and thank you for the excellent, informative and entertaining content. 👍
Amazing effort again Sarah, unfortunately I'm no way near my PB from 2018. But I'll try again tomorrow at Worksop half.
Another great performance Sarah ;-) But as you said, imagine your time without walking :-D just kidding ;-)
I'd like to have a Garmin watch. All the features you guys have showed in your videos make me think about it as a nice companion for my trainings. Cheers, Sarah, for all the challenges you're achieving!!!
Amazing time Sarah. I wish i knew pace pro exisiting before. The maths can be headscratching when i run. My next half is Queen Elizabeth Cross country on the amazing downs.
I am running my first 2021 halfmararhon on 21st November. Let’s hope I get my PB, current PB is 01:48:45
Nice video as usual. Also like the quick overview of RacePro. Have older Garmin Vivoactive 3 which does not have this feature. Time to upgrade...
Im planning to run two marathons next year with month between them. Signed up already for one. In additional gonna make trail half marathon. It's gonna be busy running 2022🏃♂️😎
