Currently Playing: I Raced a Half Marathon Using the Conner Mantz & Clayton Young Formula

I Tested Clayton Young & Conner Mantz’s Marathon Training in a Half Marathon (2:30 CIM Reality Check). I tested my marathon fitness in a half marathon following the @_Clayton_Young_ and Conner Mantz training formula to see if I’m on track for a 2:30 marathon at the California International Marathon (CIM). This wasn’t a flat, fast time trial — this was a tough half marathon with real race day variables, pacing decisions, and no safety net. The goal? Find out if the Mantz & Young marathon training blueprint is actually translating to sub-2:30 marathon fitness — without race calculators, ego pacing, or excuses. I held nothing back and let the hills, data, and fatigue tell the truth. PS - I battled the hills with @atylerwolfe He was also nice enough to share some of the race and post race footage!
