3rd Place Brooklyn-Half Finisher And EnduroPacks Athlete, Tina Muir, Sets a Blazing PR of 1:14:29!
Elite distance runner and EnduroPacks' ambassador set out to run a Personal Best at Saturday's Brooklyn Half Marathon, and she did just that! Tina Muir, a former Olympic 10k trialist and member of Saucony Hurricanes, ran a PR of 1:14:29 to finish 3rd overall for the women! That's a blazing 5:41/mile pace and just 1:00 minute behind winner Liz Costello of NYAC running club.
Tina's hard training and determination got her through a race that may not have lived up to her expectations (read about her race day experience on her blog www.tinamuir.com ). After speaking with Tina after the race, she indicated she never felt great from mile 1, but her finish was nonetheless impressive.
Here is why:
She finished 3rd female out of 13,667 women
She finished 41st overall out of 25,587 runners
Tina's determination got her through a difficult race.
She continued to push as hard as she possibly could, and did the best she could on the day. Finishing 3rd overall female and setting a PR is quite an accomplishment.
Tina writes in her blog following race day, "I ran a 40 second PR. I should be happy considering all I have on my plate, but I just feel so down about it... I KNOW I am better than this, I KNOW I am in shape to run some fast times, but I just cannot get it to translate to the races that matter."
Watch as Elite distance runner, Tina Muir, runs through Brooklyn toward her 3rd place finish.
Tina credits as least some of her recent success to a healthy diet and proper nutrition using the EnduroPacks replacement system. She has set her sights on qualifying for the 2016 UK Olympic team.

Congratulations Tina on an impressive performance Saturday, and best of luck on your training ahead of your next big challenge, the Chicago Marathon.
