After a Decade Away, Runner Crushes Her Half Marathon

Major milestone:

Age 51: Baltimore Half Marathon, goal 2:30:00, chip time 2:28:57. First race in almost 10 years! Also, very first race over 10k that I did not walk a single step! 

What is the secret to your success? Jessica_Ditto

Coach Tom, and sticking to the plan. I didn't miss a single workout, which was so easy with Coach Tom guiding me the whole way!

What is the biggest obstacle to reaching your goals and how do you get over it?

I wasn't a morning runner, but I work late so I had to make myself get up and go early, often before daylight. Totally worth it though!

What is the most rewarding part of training?

Watching the paces drop, and knowing I can continue to get faster into my 50s and beyond!

What advice would you give to other members of the Runcoach community?

Listen to your coach! They know what they are doing, and are amazing!

Anything else you would like to share?

I am running a 10k in 3 weeks, and even though I told myself I would never run another full marathon after my last 2 were close to 6 hours, I signed up for a race in April and I am dying to start training for it.

What feedback would you offer on the Runcoach experience? 

This is the best training program/coach I have ever had! Could not be more happy!
