vDOT advancement

Hasanbaydoun

I was never the fast runer. I started off the year at a vDOT of 41; and could never keep that up in the longer distances. Always crumbling.... also, weight in the beginning of the season was 188-190 lbs.

working in Jan OS; now my vDOT is 45.3 (and I PRed twice at half-marathon distance). Today at 1:39:40.  

I'm still hitting all training run zones comfortably; (Let's see on Tuesday...), but I did struggle near the end of the half-mary.

 My initial goal for the year was to do a 1:35 half-marathon; but I'm approaching MUCH faster than I expected..... should I back off? 

GOOD LUCK BOSTON RACERS

Thanks

Congrats! Hard to advise you to back off because you're faster than expected so long as you remain healthy and hit your workouts.

go for it , as they say getting to the pointy end of the stick gains will come much slower so enjoy the bump up now and stay healthy
