Pick Your Pace for the 2020 Key West Half

6/22/2019

 

​Do You Pace Yourself in a Half Marathon?

The last thing I consider before a race is whether I want to run with a pacer or on my own. My decision depends on how well I trained and if I'm running with a friend.

Most of the time, I find myself using the pacers for motivation and information even if I don't formally join a group. (Pace groups are casual — join or don't, no big deal.)

I've run alone with a pacer and I've run in large groups. Sometimes I jump in and out of groups. I start with a group, then move ahead. Or, I join a group and fall behind. Sometimes I get an extra push by deciding a group behind me will not catch me.

Pace groups may seem intimidating at first, but they're a fantastic tool.

Pacers keep you engaged in conversation. They offer coaching tips. They keep you motivated throughout a race. You meet new people and share the race experience.

​Races provide pacers to make the event better for participants.

Pace Yourself or Use a Key West Half Pacer 

Whether you pace yourself or pick an official pacer the Key West Half offers plenty of options. The race is January 19, 2020 in beautiful Key West, Florida.

​​Choose a finish time between 1:40 to 3:00 hours with a Beast Pacing group. Or,  run your own pace within the 4-hour limit (18 minute miles). 
The Key West Half Marathon has pacers for 1:40 to 3 hour finish time.

2019 Key West Half Marathon and 5K

1/21/2019

 

Windy Weather Delayed the Races for 2+ Hours

Two big weather fronts threatened the Key West Half and 5K on Sunday morning. Race officials delayed the race to keep everyone safe. After 2+ hours, the race started as planned.

Everyone I've seen or heard from said it was a fun event. Great tour around the island, musical street party, happy volunteers, and blingy bling. This year's medals were a mermaid for the half marathoners and a cute-as-ever 5K medal.

First Place Award is an Engraved Conch Shell

On #MedalMonday I was checking out everyone's medals. This one blew my mind. I'll never be fast enough to win a race, but if I was — I would set my sights on the Key West Half. How cool is this conch shell award from the Conch Republic?

Congrats to Real Life Runner Kevin Brown, on his first place men's division win! The photo below is from his Instagram account if you want a closer look.
