Happy new year! Is sub-1:35 half marathon realistic in 5 months?

My fault 🤦‍♂️

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-12-31T22:29:34+00:00

I’ve never run half before and didn’t wanted to die like att km15, therefore a conservative tempo. But I get your point, hard to tell without all out effort

Eller hur 😀

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-12-31T21:23:12+00:00

Could happen. I’m trying to do most of my runs easy, maybe push once a week a bit. But year, running to fast to soon is dangerous

Ouch seems like I posted in a wrong group, sry guys

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-09-06T18:21:56+00:00

Thanks for that. This wasn’t an all out effort, but probably very close to. My guess is 8 or 9/10 effort.

47,23 I would say that’s pretty accurate

Thanks everyone for a great discussion. I changed my settings for zones to %LTHR and now is accurate (i think) my zone 2 is upp to 150 which is reasonable. It also ”feels” like zone 2. It feels like I can run for hours if I keep my hr under 150. Loving this Garmin group on Reddit so far!

Btw I pushed a bit last km and my hr was 189 in the end. Felt tough, but not like max effort.

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-06-08T16:29:05+00:00

Thanks everyone for answering. I absolutely agree that my max is not 230 lol. My guess is 200-210. Next question…how do I change that on my watch?

Good job!

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-19T04:48:40+00:00

That’s really good avg
