Forums >General Running>Time difference for sandy trail half marathon
Burninated Peasant
I am doing a half marathon on Sunday. It is not in my home town so I ran part of the course yesterdy and it is mostly sand and gravel paths. Defintely not what i was expecting and certainly not what i have trained for. My gut feel is that i will be around 10 min slower. My fastest half mara is 2.06 but i am using this as a training run for a marathon in a couple of months so i'm not expecting a good time. Does anyone know what sort of affect running on sandy underfoot has? What would be a realistic time difference?
