early 40s loh. using 220-age seems way off for me and i scare die. lol

Why scare, high MAx HR is good for runners.

No time to exercise is an excuse. Look at this guy, he has an job interview and he can squeeze in a marathon on the same day.

i want to complete a half marathon within 2hrs this year. Still don't dare to commit until i can safely complete a full HM. hopefully in time to do 2 at the end of the year.

we are probably in different age groups. me uncle liao.
moreover, even when i was fittest, i was never a long distance person, never cover more than 5km (cross country and army runs). after decades of sedentary lifestyle, long distance running is a huge challenge.

oh, I meant how often u usually retire a pair

I think yours is more closely to Pyramidal method, since I saw you also do threshold training. In fact I think most of us are like that, coz threshold running sure be part of us coz it's more fun.

I classify both as hard run, but alternate between zone 3/4 runs once a week

Actually, don't have to run a full HM to do HM, but it's a good way to assess if you can hit 2hrs if you run the full HM.

If you can run 2hr 5 mins outside, most probably can hit 2 hr in the real one because of pacers in the race.

Experience with the run route will help a lot, hopefully you'll achieve it

Anyone going of Income Eco Run? I just signed up with my NTUC policy discount at $30. Price is hard to resist.

depends.
2014 brooks pure cadence: retired and threw away in 2021.
2017 adidas ultraboost: hardly wear. did 2 runs and knew its not for my weak ankles. idling at home.
2019 nike react infinity: retired from running in 2023. now use as walking shoe at retirement home during summer.
2020 adidas pulseboost (japan limited edition): retired and threw away in 2022 after bounce loose effectiveness and feet feels painful even when walking. glue gave way as well.
2020 saucony endorphin speed coming to end of life due to heel wearing off badly, bounce still very decent. easily had more than 200km. of all i have, this is my favourite running shoe.

if not due to the suspension of my runs after the bad cold in dec, i will be very confident to complete within 2hrs as i was consistently completing 10km under 60min and was gradually completing longer distances, eg. 12km, 15km, 16km.
now am starting all over again.

A bit too early for me, I don't mind evening or late morning runs though

Know of someone in my running club, 1.49 half marathon, but her 5k is 23.23

For 2.00 half marathon, need around 26.xx 5k

I notice some females have pretty good scaling up to FM. Their 5km, 10km alot slower than me, but HM and FM faster.
