I AM SO PROUD OF YOU! I love that you love God, and have faith in Him... You're a breath of fresh air!!!! I run my first half-marathon this Sunday coming so I'll head to the store Friday to get those goo's... God bless much love, love your channel.

Thanks for sharing!!! This was so inspiring. Congratulations :) Running my first in March and I'm nervous but excited 😊🤗 I ran my first 5K in November and once I saw the last marker, I just sprinted. Like you said, I felt empowered and knew it wouldn't be my last race. Hope you keep running 💨

Inspirational stuff and great video! It is so true that breaking out of the comfort crisis is soooo important for personal success especially in running.

Congratulations! I too, just did a hal-marathon last Saturday and it was tough on the last miles. But, I kept telling myself I can do this. The last time I ran a half-marathon, was in 2010. So, I trained myself, little by little. I am looking forward to another run in May. 👍

Great job!!! I highly recommend getting a Garmin watch for running. Forerunner 965 is probably the best for running. I have the Fenix 7X Pro and it's amazing. The furthest I've run was a 10k for Thanksgiving last month. There's a half marathon nearby that is scheduled in May 2024 for mother's day. I'm really thinking of signing up. It's making me uncomfortable to think about, but that's probably why I should sign up for it. The jump from 10k to half marathon seems enormous but I've got 5 months to prepare so maybe i should do it. Keep up the great work! You have a new subscriber now 👍

@@alexisleetrevino It was thrilling, humbling, fun, painful, and so rewarding. I wanted to see what it felt like before I do one in August. So I really appreciate this video becuase I re-fueled with the packs every 3.5 miles and it was so beneficial. I learned a lot and I am so happy I came across this video beforehand. Thanks

Which half is this? I just ran my first half (Brooklyn half). It rained through the race, was cold and windy and the course was 4 damn loops of the very hilly park. Still managed to finish in 2.24. P.S. not a runner either and aiming for NYC next year.

awesome video

Did you run your easy runs slower than your half marathon pace? And if you did how much slower?

@alexisleetrevino

Honestly not really, if anything it was average 5 seconds slower than my pace for the half marathon!

4 gels for a half marathon is too much, but I had 6 because they taste good.

Some races will list that headphones are banned, especially if there are public road crossings or large fields. This is usually for safety. I've never seen such a rule actually enforced, so take that as you will.

God knows you can run a half marathon without gels, he also knows your training was far from perfect and you really need a heart rate monitor with a chest strap more than a garmin but he also knew you wouldnt fail to cross the finish line.

Training for my first half marathon, you said your feet were hurting, would you say the new shoes were not broken in, or do you wish you had gotten a different pair or brand?

Talking bout determination n and how we humans can achieve more than we think., to try and push even when we re tired is Ok. But dont give advice on eating and suplements if you are not expert. Not evwryone is the same the Carb loading is a mith mostly. There are top athletes that don t load tons of carbs in fact they just eat normal regular. Carbs are a load if saturated suvars. It actually clogging the body and makes some sluggish. Do not give advice on nuteiwnt intakes because everyone is different.

If you are reading this and targeting your first half, focus on the training, including strength training. Too many running influencers push buying lots of products, and then newer runners think they need to do the same, the cycle repeats. You *don't* need to carb load for a half. You *don't* even need gels for a half. Run in the shoes you are accustomed to.

I’m sharing my personal experience. This is what worked for me. I didn’t mention you needed to buy anything other than the gels! Good running shoes, drinking water, drinking electrolytes and eating a sufficient amount of carbs is what I suggested. Thanks!
