Let’s cut to the chase – as 7 Pax gathered in the Gloom and in a light mist on a fine October morning in Raleigh-wood, someone asked Munson how he fared in the Bull City Half-marathon this weekend. Let’s just say that he rocked that half-marathon.
Taking 17 minutes off his half-marathon PR from 2011, he put up a formidable 1:36. That is a 7:23/mi pace for 13.1 miles – yes, FAST for a long time! 14th out of 140 in his age group and 102 out of 2,329 overall. Top tier all-around. A 15% drop in time – HUGE. Can you tell I am impressed?
He thought that HiFidelity played a big role in that improvement, but wanted to keep the sappiness for YHC or similar… I would imagine F3 (overall strength) + Blue Ridge Relay (increasing volume) + HiFidelity (speed training) each contributed to his success. TCLAPS to our own Munson.
