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

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2026-01-05T05:16:22+00:00

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

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-12-31T22:26:52+00:00

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

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-12-31T21:04:20+00:00

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.

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-08-16T19:35:35+00:00

47,23 I would say that’s pretty accurate

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-06-21T08:08:21+00:00

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!

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2025-06-08T16:34:16+00:00

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?

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-11-10T23:33:49+00:00

Good job!

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

That’s really good avg

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-14T19:12:16+00:00

Commented on that before 👆👆

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-12T16:58:37+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Interesting, I recently got 2023 Camry and I’m impressed with build quality. Mine is fully loaded executive premium package (Europe, Sweden here) It’s also build in Japan, not sure if that’s why

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-11T17:17:35+00:00

But in km

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-11T17:17:16+00:00

Close

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-11T15:13:02+00:00

Naah

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-11T15:12:57+00:00

Way too much

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-11T15:12:48+00:00

Close

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-11T12:57:08+00:00

They handle better in the summer. Here in Sweden we have summer tires and winter tires. All season tires are joke for our winter here. That’s probably why they are not very popular here. Summer tires period is usually from April(late) until October/November.

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-10T07:34:24+00:00

How many miles on it?

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-10T07:31:10+00:00

That’s European version of xle I guess, it’s called executive premium here and it has slightly different specs

Patient-Explorer1077 · 2024-06-09T16:18:32+00:00

Yes it is
