I use to be a sub elite marathoner now I don’t know what I am

U.S Olympic Trials: 2:15:43

hot and humid weather. I want to use the caption senders send but I truly believe that wasn’t me sending it. Ran 2:11:30 pace for 21 miles. Game plan was hover around top 30 and pick people off

Half way split: 65:30
Second half split: 70:13

Gut destroying race: 2:16:12 marathon debut

Half way split: 65:45

@Brady_H as someone who chases mantz on a daily basis I agree. He produces an insane amount of force with every step he takes.

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

@taggartvanetten That’s the way to do it. I usually open up in 65 first half and close in 70 minute half.

End of the week. Time to show off those Strava charts! 5 miles or 100 miles, be proud to post em.

[CITIUS MAG @CitiusMag]

Every January, top talent from around the world converges to Houston to vie for record-smashing times and to set the tone for the season ahead.

For the past two months, we’ve paid a few trips to the dirt roads of Colorado and the quiet stretches of Utah, tracing the steps of Joe Klecker and Conner Mantz.

Two guys ready to take a journey into the unknown on Jan. 19th – where speed meets endurance and ambition meets the unrelenting pavement.

This is The Road to Houston.

🎥 A two-part series coming to the CITIUS MAG YouTube channel next week.

@TheErinBrown Or most consistent athlete in the NCAA

22nd - 2:15:43

I didn’t feel like I was out of place I just didn’t know what happened during the race. Maybe I didn’t fuel enough but I will figure it out

I was top 30 from the start and wanted to slowly pick people off. I was 14th through mile 22 and my body just shut down🥲

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

I thought our 13 PMP at altitude was tough

13 miles at marathon pace on the treadmill to simulate the heat and easy fueling.

13 miles @ 5:00 avg

altitude: 4600

[hansonsrun @hansonsrun]

Yesterday I ran the Houston Half Marathon. I came 6th overall and ran a 6 second PB. Great way to start my year and set up my marathon in Seville next month!

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

It feels great to finally run faster than my highschool 2 mile PB in a workout.

HS 3200 PB: 9:10

workout 3x2mile (solo)

4:49,4:45 (9:34)
4:41, 4:42 (9:23)
4:36, 4:29 (9:05)

In Phoenix for Christmas. First workout at sea level in years 🤭

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

4000 miles for the year with a week to spare 🥹

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

Last week I did 12x 1k at 3:07 average

Today I did 5x2k at 5:51 average

All at 5000 feet on grass

Can you tell where my strength comes from. the 2ks felt smoother than the 1ks did. I was getting dropped during the 1k repeats as well. The group was running around 2:50-2:55.

[Dr. Scott Carlin @scottcarlinpt]

Sometimes the best runs are the ones with the least technology.

No heart rate
No smartphone
No notifications
No music.

Just feel.

Looking forward to more of those in 2024.

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

Apparently it’s unrealistic to believe and train for something faster. The problem with sharing your thoughts and journey on social media

Imagine if Tigist Assefa said I’m going to lower the world record by 2 mins and PR by 4 mins. People would call her crazy and unrealistic

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

45 more miles until my first ever 4K year.

To put that in perspective.

50.5 weeks/3955 = average of 78.3 miles a week

354 days / 3955 = average of 11.17 miles a day

started training for the marathon after graduating but not finishing my college eligibility in late June 👀

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

@McKirdyTrained Thank you! Just trying to be better than my last race.

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]

The power of running with someone

Todays workout was 10 miles at marathon pace at altitude

Mile 1-2 w/ people (4:54,4:58)
Mile 3-6 solo (5:02,5:04,5:06,5:07)
Mile 7-10 w/ people (4:58,5:00,4:59,4:56)

10 miles at 5:01 pace at 5000 ft

I am mentally weak at running alone

[Habtamu Cheney @runnerhabs]
