First Half Marathon Down, Now I Need Speed
So I finished my first half marathon this weekend with a time of 2:13 which I was pretty pleased with considering it was a hilly course and the last half mile had an elevation gain of about 500ft.

Non-Motivational Supporters
So i've been training for my first half marathon(in three weeks, yikes!) with my brother in law and my boyfriend. Both have run half marathons before, and i'm finding them terrible running partners.

Race Missions Question
I'm going to do a half marathon in three weeks and I wanted to try the first 20k race mission, but i'm worried it will have spoilers. I"m currently on mission 14 - Virtuous Circle Season One, will running the 20k race mission ruin the rest of season one for me? Also, do I have to run the 5 & 10k race missions before I run…
