Report on my awesome sub 80 min half marathon

The more I run the less I like the construct “sub-something”. My running routine has no goals attached to it. Running has become my life’s cornerstone habit, my passion. It can’t be defined by some tactical goal or past result. My results are the outcome — checkpoints — of my consistent training. I don’t train towards goals. Well, I have some targets — like a 2.49 marathon in Chicago later this year — but my mindset is all about my weekly routine, not about some future result.
