Marist Running alum Christine Coughlin (now racing for
Albany Running Exchange) had a monster effort at the Adirondack Half Marathon
in Schroon Lake, winning the women’s race on a hilly course in 1:25:58, a more
than three-minute PR from her debut 13.1-mile effort at the Walkway race (1:29:05)
back in June. The hills were no problem (she texted me that they were very
BEARable … note her fancy ADK-styled winning award, thus the pun) for her, as
she has trained on this terrain throughout the summer. Her posted splits were
34:27, 6:46 pace, for 5 miles; 1:18:26, 6:36 pace, for 11.9 miles, and 1:25:58,
6:34 pace, for the finish. This is remarkable, as most of the serious hills are
on the second half of this race. Very proud of our most recent alum.
