My first two half marathons 🙂

I started running 4 month ago and ran my first two half marathons fasted, completely nasal breathing and in barefoot socks like I do all my runs.

It felt smooth and I was fine during and after.

Serious question: Has anyone experience with this approach?

Especially the fasted part. I’m wondering how far I could come to a real marathon with this approach.

If I can do that, you can do that.
