Half Marathoners a little FYI

[anniet]

I kept meaning to post this, and kept forgetting.-something dh pointed out to me a few weeks ago.

It's something you may already know, but I thought I'd point it out anyway. In order to keep the required pace of the half marathon and not get swept up we need to maintain a 16 minute mile which is equal to approximately 3.8 miles per hour.

If you are walking to get prepared, I would suggest walking at AT LEAST this pace.


Since studies show when longer distances are covered there is a tendancy to slow down, walking faster than 3.8 is a real good idea.

Hope this helps.

It definitely does help.
I just got a treadmill and was trying to figure out exactly what you posted!
I wanted to find out exactly whats I need to walk to keep that pace. I can set the treadmill to exactly 3.8.


Just curiuos by the "save disney link" in your signature, do you read Jim hill media.
I love that site and they have the same link there.

Anyway thanks for the info.

No wiskband, I don't read Jim Hill Media, although I have linked to articles on his site a few times from other sites and find him interesting.
