NO BEGINNER’S LUCK: KIM CONLEY’S 6 TIPS FOR HALF-MARATHON RUNNERS

Unlike many professional runners, Team NB’s Kim Conley refuses to limit herself to just one distance event. Instead, she embraces opportunities to train for and race new distances because to her, they’re a part of her goal of becoming the strongest athlete she can be. On January 18th, she raced her first half marathon ever in Houston, Texas, at the U.S. Half Marathon Championships. Although she was a rookie at the distance, Kim relied on hard work and guile to best a field of decorated road runners. In the end, she crossed the finish line at 1:09:44, which averages to just under 5:20 per mile, capturing her first U.S. Half Marathon title.
